Barer and Hsu

Cara Barer and Pang-Chieh Hsu
November 18 - December 18, 2015


​Andrea Schwartz Gallery is pleased to announce a two-person exhibition featuring recent work by Cara Barer and Pang-Chieh Hsu.
 
“When I’m traveling, I truly don’t feel that I know where I am unless I can see my location on a printed map. It gives me a secure feeling an electronic source cannot provide.”
—Cara Barer
 
Cara Barer’s current body of work combines her love of printed reference materials with her strong interest in travel. The artist transforms traditional maps and reference guidebooks by painting, ripping, and tearing the source material. She then takes these handmade objects and presents them renewed in a photograph. Barer calls attention to physical maps, and it’s ever increasing obsolescence.
(More of her works may be found on her portfolio page.)
 
“By using paper money, I highlight the material’s quality to be flexible, colored, or burned in order to transform it into my asymmetrical, architectural compositions.”
—Pang-Chieh Hsu
 
Pang-Chieh Hsu’s recent oil paintings of paper money are motivated by his observance of architecture. The compositions depict the artist’s hyper-realistic ability to layer individual pieces of money, forming a unified, seemingly architectural structure. Chinese landscape painting, nature, and traditional Chinese idioms inspire his compositions. Hsu reimagines the colors, textures, shapes, light, and patterns of the traditional Chinese currency.
(More of his works may be found on his portfolio page.)
