Solo Exhibition at Addison/Ripley Fine Art in Washington DC, June 4 - July 16, 2022
Opening Reception: Saturday, June 4th, 2022 from 4-6p
For his new body work, Baer builds on two decades of formalist abstract painting to explore the open invitation to hold seemingly opposite truths at the same time. Comprised of simple geometries and textured impasto, each work signifies how there are many vantage points with which to investigate our circumstances should we have the courage to do so. The work is an acknowledgement of the tension, discomfort and patience that accompany growth and healing, and is an invitation to become better acquainted with the grace we might afford ourselves and others in any given moment.
