Press Release

Bartha_contemporary is pleased to present a showcase of recent wood reliefs and drawings by New York artist Jill Baroff. Entitled __Spatial Measures, the show forms part of a series of concise single-artist presentations focusing on essential aspects of a gallery artist’s recent practice.

Jill Baroff’s artistic journey continues to evolve as she explores spatial and sculptural concerns in her work. Her wood reliefs, in particular, are a testament to this evolution. They translate the language of her earlier drawings into three-dimensional space, introducing a vibrant colour palette that amplifies these works’ graphical and architectural qualities.

Witness the innovation in Jill Baroff’s work as she plays with geometry, creating a new space where unrestricted forms can explore their unruliness. Her practice innovates self-structuring shapes and pays homage to their fundamental forms.

Over the past decade, colour has increasingly played an essential role in Baroff’s work and was first applied in monochromatic hues on corrugated surfaces that capture the tonal shifts of passing light towards a joyful bursting pallet that encapsulates a bold movement in the work.

About the Artist

The Tide drawings are patterns of place: mappings of time and geography. This body of work as well as Baroff’s prints and videos use a selfstructuring methodology in which their visual form is determined by the process by which they are made. Information, in the form of numerical data or maps, provides the raw material.

About the Gallery

Established at the turn of the century by Niklas and Daniela von Bartha, the London-based gallery, Bartha Contemporary, places a strong emphasis on non-figurative and conceptual works by mostly established American and European contemporary artists. Hailing from the second generation of the art-dealing von Bartha family, Niklas, along with his wife Daniela, maintains a retrospective look at underappreciated modernising movements of the past in the gallery programme, whilst championing the latest works of contemporary artists.
