Artwork location: United States

This intriguing artwork depicts a dynamic interplay of geometric and organic forms. A transparent cube appears to encapsulate a vibrant, swirling shape, evoking a sense of fluidity and motion. This form contrasts sharply with the rigid lines of the cube, creating a tension between the structured and the chaotic. Above, an ascending wisp ascends towards a looming, monolithic structure, suggestively parting the sky. The background's angular planes and contrasting colors—cool blues and earthy greens—enhance the surreal, dreamlike quality of the piece. The strategic use of light and shadow adds depth and intrigue, guiding the viewer's eye through the composition. This artwork compellingly challenges perception, inviting viewers to ponder the relationship between confinement and liberation, order and spontaneity.

Barbara Gothard, Cage that Almost Contains
United States  • 1937

Presentation

Barbara Gothard, PhD is an African American contemporary Palm Springs artist whose creative practice is focused on contradictions and the challenge/promise of change. She is a productive artist exhibiting locally, nationally and internationally and also enjoyed a high-level corporate career. Having weathered her own dramatic personal changes as an indirect catalyst to significant professional changes, she evolved from one transition to another on her non-linear career path, Gothard, who always wanted to be an artist and dreamed of traveling, grew up in a landlocked town in Illinois and was fortunate that her mother’s recognition of this interest resulted in Saturday art classes starting in the second grade. From modest roots to traditional art training - Mount Mary University (BA Art, Education), Long Island University (MA Art, Education), Michigan State University (Ph.D. Educational Administration), art educator, to global business and residencies, she is compelled to translate these obstacles-as-opportunities into the unfolding mysteries of complex spatial relationships in her artwork.
