Barbara Broughel "The Broken Grid"
Frederieke Taylor Gallery
This event has ended.
In her new series of oil paintings entitled "The Broken Grid", Broughel flips convention by viewing The Delft School of painting through the lens of the perspectival grid (a tool designed for rendering objects in perspective without distortion). By privileging the artist's tool over compositional convention, and by making it the focal point of the artwork's composition, Broughel brings to the forefront a way of seeing which objectifies the artist's experience in the studio; a way of seeing which would have been denied to the work's audience, and completely eradicated from the final product. This is the artist's fourth solo show with the gallery.
