Lea Barton
Denise Bibro Fine Art
529 W 20th StDenise Bibro Fine Art, 529 W. 20th Street, Chelsea, NYC, will hold a reception for Mississippi multimedia artist Lea Barton on Friday, June 6th from 3 to 5pm, in conjunction with the 29th annual New York Mississippi Picnic. The reception celebrates an installation in the back gallery of selected works from Barton's recent solo exhibition South at Denise Bibro Fine Art, as well as the gallery's participation in the picnic, where Barton's work will also be featured.
The picnic reunites native Mississippians living in New York and current residents of the Magnolia State at a festive event in Central Park, bringing down-home southern style to the heart of Manhattan. A selection of Barton's work will be on view at the picnic Saturday, June 7, from 12 to 6pm, at 5th Avenue and 97th Street. For more information, visit the picnic's website at http://www.nymspicnic.com
Barton combines collage and paint with photography and printmaking techniques to create richly layered works exploring the material and political history of the South, and dissecting female stereotypes of Antebellum and contemporary Southern culture. The work reflects both Barton's childhood memories of growing up in Mississippi, and her later efforts to define what it means to be from the South. A selection of Barton's solo exhibitions includes Denise Bibro Fine Art, Cole Pratt Gallery in New Orleans, LA; Perry Nicole Gallery, Memphis, TN; Mississippi Museum of Art in Jackson, MS; and the Alexandria Museum of Art in Alexandria, LA, among many others. She has also participated in many group and invitational shows in museums and galleries nationwide. She currently resides in Flora, MS.
