DiggThe Broken Grid

Reception: February 21, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Barbara Broughel
Frederieke Taylor Gallery
535 W 22nd StFrederieke Taylor gallery announces its fourth one person show with Barbara Broughel. This exhibition will consist of new oil paintings on wood, emphasizing the artist's grid that contributed to their formation. The show is a significant continuation of the artist's show with the gallery in 2001, entitled "Perspective, Optics and the Legibility of Nature." As with her previous show at the gallery, this new work is part of Broughel's ongoing investigation into historical innovations in artists' tools, and their impact on perception.
In The Broken Grid series, 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, but which was denied to the work's audience, and completely eradicated from the final product.
