The world of fantasy often serves as an escape from reality and its many social, economic and physical limitations. Reality, on the other hand, is often considered desirable in the midst of the illusions of fantasy. However, the two can not always be strictly separated. The paintings by Yevgeniya Baras are porous objects that blur the line between the fantastic and the real and soften the barriers of all stable areas. In these works of art, located between object and image, the material leads a life of its own. Jute, wool, tire rubber, fabric, stones and wood are often physically attached to the surface of the painting and at the same time integrated into it, making it a part of the sitter. Baras’s works refer to seemingly ancient codes that both confirm and refute their narratives. As soon as one thinks to recognize a pattern, it is immediately undermined by repetition and transformation. It is never really attached to a symbol, so that one could ascribe a fixed meaning to it.

By refusing to use clearly defined symbols and constantly changing them, the works of Yevgeniya Baras become cycles and currents. Their imagery plays with time, realizes ideas through processes, and delineates the boundaries of form, albeit in a slightly rigid way – the forms are merely suggested as if their edges are dancing. Baras’ works make use of a variety of references – from Shiva Lingam’s images, which act as energy symbols, to the abstract corporeality of Elizabeth Murray’s work, the delicate and decorative by Florine Stettheimer, to Forrest Bess’s early visionary works of American Modernism. Baras’ works are corporeal, archaeological and blunt and elevate abstraction to its haptic form, permeating the surfaces of the paintings with cryptic codes that the viewer is challenged to decode.
