artist statement

speaking in color

bari wieselman schulman is a modern abstract painter and mixed-media artist obsessed with color, language, and color as language, and the ways in which art and art objects invite dialogue and carry meaning in(to) the world. a divergent thinker with an intuitive and experimental process, her work challenges us to see, feel, and think differently, encouraging connection with our neuropsychological sense of self.

bari’s highly gestural work is the translation, the embodiment of an intense mind in constant motion. getting things out on paper to see and manipulate, pushing boundaries with form and contrast, exploring, her work makes manifest the experience of seeing in color, thinking in color, speaking in color, being in color. invoking the emotional resonance of color, bari creates spaces ripe with, and for, transformation.
