ARTIST STATEMENT - Barbara
Asgary
These
paintings are about Zen-like, peaceful spaces, spaces that
are contained, non-threatening, comforting. Soothing, like
the quiet, soft feeling of snow falling in winter. These are
spaces that the viewer can enter and where he can get lost
in his own reverie.
I
am interested in two spaces together and their relationship
to each other. Where does one finish and the other begin?
In our lives, what is the defining line between being active
and being passive?
Air.
Blue, white, intangible, transparent. Intangible are the most
important parts of our existence. Our intellectual activity,
emotional states, spiritual life. Transparent through the
air are a multitude of secrets.
