Sharon Louise Barnes works in “social abstraction,” creating paintings, sculptures, and installations that use a visual language to convey political, social, and cultural ideas originating from the Black experience. “Through the medium of abstraction,” she says, “I tell stories and stimulate contemplation through color, tone, gesture, and texture. I often create a semblance of topography on my canvases using hundreds of cut fragments. It’s a process that challenges notions of a flat world, pointing instead to the deeply layered and overlapping nature of our humanity.”
