Artist
Sara Barker
B.1980, British

Sara Barker employs painted aluminum sheets, molded brass, and steel brazing, as well as commonplace materials like wood, cardboard, and wire to create three-dimensional sculptural paintings. Drawing on her background in painting, Barker treats metal sheets as a canvas to explore the limits of painted surfaces beyond cavases. By integrating gestural painting into her works, she creates a contrast with industrial forms, resulting in large scale, self-supporting sculptures and wall hangings that engage with composition, scale, and materiality in nuanced ways. Barker has included angular aluminum trays, or ‘trenches,’ as vessels for painting, which are fundamental and adaptable structures that can accommodate diverse forms, depths, configurations, and shapes. Her work highlights a shared language between painting and sculpture that is visceral, tangible, and fundamental to the act of creation, and these pieces create small, self-contained abstract landscapes composed of linear metal shapes. ...
