New work from Clara Curbera

In a selection of work from her solo exhibition “Apple of Your Eye” that recently closed at Bau Gallery in Beacon, N.Y, painter Clara Curbera asks what happens when our inner reality, and its abstract colors and formations of memory, heritage, bias, and emotions, visually inform how we see.

The work distorts figuration with an other-worldly palette to create a visual language that grapples with the failure of rational descriptions to encompass the entirety of our experiences.
