Step 3. ????
Most times I just sit here and watch the birds. It’s mostly chickens, right here in the coop, but over there behind the willow, I’ve seen storks and there’s robins that walk around. Plenty robins. Time passes slowly here, you could almost hear it. Yes, it reminds you of that novel, Catch-22, but it’s not […]

Barbora Lepsi has created a series of monumental abstract paintings for the HYB4 Gallery exhibition space, works that directly respond to the venue and consistently develop her long-term theme of abstract expression. The resulting artworks are grounded in a confident gestural expression, spontaneity, and a precise sensitivity to composition and color. The presentation is an […]
Subterfuge

It is understood as a broader […]
