Ro2 is pleased to present Sexy Ugly, a solo exhibition featuring new works by artist Barbara Horlander. The show will run from February 22 through March 21, 2020. There will be an opening reception held on Saturday, February 22 from 7-10:00 PM at Ro2’s Cedars gallery located at 1501 S Ervay Street, Dallas, TX 75215.
Rough around the edges with raw wood, crooked lines, and wonky cuts, my process shows a human hand in the mix with this work. With the inclusion of glittery, glistening resin, I’ve set out to concoct sculptural paintings, which are half ugly, partially yummy. My hope is that they’re unexpected and a little awkward. The assembled works contain abstract shapes suggesting human form, both appealing and appalling. They’re soft and hard, dull and shiny, awkward and rhythmic…sexy ugly!

She holds too many art degrees: a BA from the University of Southern California, a BFA from Herron School of Art + Design, and a MFA from Texas Christian University. She currently lives in the Dallas, Texas area working by day as a visual merchandising stylist and display artist.
