NATURAL IMPRESSIONS
The 64 artists from 22 different nationalities selected for this exhibition not only enrich our consensus on artistic expression and cultural perspective but also expand our understanding of nature and its representation in the arts. This reflective approach challenges established conventions, allowing for diverse interpretations and representations of the world. It awakens human consciousness to the source of inspiration that the capacity to imagine represents, encouraging the audience to reflect on their relationship with the world and recognize the importance of art as a profound connection with the intrinsic essence of humanity.

BARBARA BRYN KLARE
OH and San Francisco Bay Area, USA
DECONSTRUCTED, 2018
Tapestry, korean micro velvet
4.5 x 5.5 ft (137.1h x 167.6 cm)
Cloth as a metaphor: thread transforms
into a line, and fabric becomes paint.
Rescued textiles, objects, drawings,
text, and various other materials
are skillfully interwoven in an artistic
practice that explores themes of
fragility, waste, repair, sustainability,
and the dynamics of power and
powerlessness. Through their work,
the artist gives voice and artistic solace
to the overlooked members of our
society: discarded sticks, old clothes,
fabric remnants, and unheard poets.
They champion and advocate for the
humble and frayed, liberating the
discarded remnants of our throw-away
culture. The enduring strength found
in worn fabrics and weathered paper
becomes the foundation for their largescale
installations, drawings, collages,
objects, and socially engaged projects.
