Elizabeth Leach Gallery is pleased to present an
exhibition of new paintings by Barbara Sternberger.
The process of solving while doing is central to Sternberger’s thinking in this new body of
work entitled Continuum, almost as if she plans to
get lost in order to find her way back home. This
deliberate, studio-oriented strategy generates
imagery that unabashedly reveals a history of
making, full of erasure and accumulation, which
together create a portrait of an artist in production.
Below: A selection of work from past exhibitions.
April 19 - May 28, 2022 - Emanating, Elizabeth Leach Gallery, Portland, OR
In this body of work titled Emanating, Sternberger embraces the constancy of change and each artwork contains the energetic record of their creation. The artist covers up the previous layers of her marks, obscuring any marks that she considers predetermined aesthetic decisions in favor of the pure expression that resulted from being intensely immersed in the present moment of their making.
