Last Morning at El Centro, Hayley Barker's first solo exhibition in Asia, opens today at CVG Foundation in Beijing. The paintings in the exhibition hail from a larger, ongoing series in which Barker reflects on her Southern Californian environs and her origins in Oregon. Throughout the canvases, lush tangles of vines, effervescent leaves, and radiant flowers burble around garden paths and other markers of domestic architecture, suggesting the vivacity of the setting and the painter's practice itself. Barker's fantastical palettes and verdant subject matter may evoke Post-Impressionist masters such as Pierre Bonnard. Yet the artist has developed a style all her own, featuring varied linework and brushwork, seams of exposed linen, and a playful approach to composition and depth.
