May 13 – July 2: Kae Barron

Kae Barron’s First Ever One-Person Exhibit! “Black Box”, an exhibit of all new art by local artist, Kae Barron will be on display at Cantrell Gallery.

There will be an opening night reception on Friday, May 13, 6-8:00. This event is free and open to the public.

The artist will be present, so it’s a great opportunity to meet her, while viewing her works.

Artist Statement: “After completing most of the works for this show, I decided to do a painting I would call ‘Black Box’. It occurred to me that this might be a good title for the show. ‘Black Box’ can be a metaphor for the inscrutability of the inner workings of things -- animals, people, life, the universe -- a theme which runs through my work. An inherent aspect of human experience, mystery can sometimes be pleasant and awe-inspiring, sometimes immensely frustrating and scary. ‘Black Box’ symbolizes a range of things I feel are relevant to my thinking and my work. From the black box of psychology (the mind as a black box) to those of literature ("The Lottery"), and science (quantum physics and computer science) -- mystery, danger and the randomness of chance are handily encapsulated. This show contains acrylic, watercolor and egg tempera paintings along with linocut and intaglio prints. I hope you enjoy it!” –Kae Barron Born in West Palm Beach, Florida, Kae Barron has lived for many years with her husband, Danny, and their dogs near Benton, Arkansas.

Kae Barron

Kae Barron was born in Florida and has lived in Arkansas with her husband, Danny, since the late '70s.  She works as a machine-embroidery designer and digitizer and continues to enjoy drawing, painting, and sculpture, which she has been interested and involved in most of her life.  Kae simply wants to express something about the way it is in this world. Though we each have one unique perspective, we can find resonance and connection through works of art, and Kae hopes her art may do for someone else what others' has done for her.
