Event Description:
Often used as a musical term, appassionata refers to an intensely impassioned period or person. Appassionata: The Art of Jacqueline Barnett 1990-2015, an exhibit curated by well-known Seattle gallery owner Francine Seders, contains dynamic artworks that evoke both joy and pain. Seders chose oil paintings because they “reflect an intense emotional state of mind (while) their composition and play of colors give them strength and stability.” In contrast, Seders states, “the monotypes are more subdued, quieter; they are often painted over which gives them a luminous look.” Barnett uses bold colors, balanced compositions, and fluid brushstrokes to reflect emotions that all individuals experience
