Presentation






















Barbara Kolo was born and educated in New York. Having developed an
appreciation for art from an early age, her interest in drawing and painting
lead her to attend the High School of Art and Design, followed by the School of
Visual Arts.

During the 1980's, Kolo
built a career as an award-winning art director in creative advertising for
film and television. Her job brought her to Los Angeles in 1989. As an
independent freelance art director, she worked directly with major film studios
and design studios and became the Director of Print Advertising at Universal
Studios.

Barbara Kolo's early
interest in drawing and painting has never diminished. During the early 90's,
she followed the urge to develop her own personal artistic voice and began
creating her own works. Her drawings were soon being included in local and
national group shows. Her focus slowly changed from commercial to fine art.




Inspired by natural forms and influenced by Impressionist, Aboriginal,
and Asian art, she has developed a meditative visual language using the
simplicity of dots, lines, and circles. She repeatedly hand-stamps ink or
acrylic circles with different degrees of pressure, creating imperfections and
variations that expose the artist's hand. Each dot or circle is then counted
with tally marks that become an integral part of the image. The total tally is
the title of the work.

Kolo moved with her husband
to Paris in 2000. She rented an art studio by La Bastille and participated local
art exhibitions. In 2003, the couple returned to Santa Monica. Since then,
Kolo's artworks have continuously been exhibited in various solo and group
exhibitions. Barbara Kolo's work is held in public and private collections in
the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Taiwan, Australia, and the U.A.E.
