YEVGENIYA BARAS | JULIA KUNIN: Wild Chambers
\nSeptember 1 – October 19, 2022
\nOpening September 1, 12 – 6 pm
\n@ MOTHER, 368 Broadway, #415, NY NY 10013, USA<\/p>\n

Mother is pleased to present Wild Chamber<\/em>s, a two-person exhibition featuring paintings by Yevgeniya Baras and ceramics by Julia Kunin<\/a>. This is the first time that Baras and Kunin have exhibited together. Wild Chambers<\/em> runs from September 1 through October 19, 2022. Mother | Manhattan is located at 368 Broadway Suite 415.<\/p>\n

Baras and Kunin work in different mediums\u2014the former in painting, the latter in sculpture. Accentuating process, as well as a visceral, corporeal link to physicality and historicism, the work of each artist transcends its prescribed medium. Teetering between symbolism and abstraction, Baras and Kunin draw from both styles \u2014masterfully transforming modernism into contemporary feminist work. Chambered, multifaceted, and dense, the works command exploration for artist and viewer alike. The show\u2019s title Wild Chambers<\/em> is referential of Paul Celan\u2019s poem Line the Wordcaves<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\nWork by Yevgeniya Baras<\/em><\/p>\n

The materials on Baras\u2019s canvases are applied densely, layering paint with wood and yarn atop linen and burlap. Her work transcends the concept of \u2018painting\u2019: it enters a realm of haptic tangibility, and becomes, all at once, sculptural reliefs, geographic memories, and coded odes to matriarchal space. The lines and naturalistic tones of Untitled (YB005) (2019-21)<\/em> evoke the vast expanse of long-forgotten places\u2014perhaps revisited from above as if out of the body\u2014while remaining detailed enough for the discernment of subtleties. The works extend beyond the bounds of their settings both literally and figuratively, serving as maps for modes of investigation.<\/p>\n

Kunin\u2019s iridescent ceramics merge architecture with the body, evoking the surreal in the service of expressing the coded language of queer desire. The shimmering ceramics contradict themselves, maintaining an aspect of the grotesque in the midst of their otherworldly shine. Kunin\u2019s work transforms notions of the femme fatale into a genderfluid affirmation, thereby using\u2014though simultaneously challenging\u2014tropes from the art nouveau era. In Psychedelic Body<\/em> (2016), Kunin combines historical luster glazes\u2014stacking sculptural reliefs of symbols\u2014with hand-built linearity.<\/p>\n

In Wild Chambers<\/em>, Baras and Kunin contextualize one another. Each artist creates deeply, inherently physical work: felt in the body, understood in the mind, and equally expressed through both, be it in a violent clash or a burgeoning symbiosis.<\/p>\n
