About the Item

With an irreverent eye, Vera Barnett selects everyday objects which remind her of other things: a pepper under a light bulb becomes a reclining sunbather, and a radish becomes a plumed bird. Vera Barnett’s exhibition “Home” includes three distinct series of paintings - Portraits, Still Lifes, and Pets - to embody the meaning of an artistic and domestic life at Home. Each series is anchored by a larger thematic painting and surrounded by miniature paintings. All of the paintings are created in a two-step process. First, Barnett fabricates her subject as a stage set made of cardboard, sewn fabric, and found objects. Then, she makes a painting from her construction in a trompe l’oeil manner. Barnett says, “I am drawn to art that explores the emotional relationships between people, their environment and circumstances that they find themselves in. I wish to reconstruct these ideas through my own vision, my life and experiences.” Vera Barnett studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia, and has had three solo exhibitions at Valley House Gallery in Dallas. This is the twelfth painting from Vera Barnett's "Still Life" series. This painting is oil on masonite panel. The overall dimensions including the frame are 8 7/8 x 6 1/8 inches.
