OCTOBER THROUGH NOVEMBER 1999

"Masks II"
Israeli artist Atara Baker

October 1^st to November 28^th, 1999
Opening reception Friday, October 1^st, 6-8 pm

Israeli artist ATARA BAKER spent a decade in South Africa, where the timeless qualities of the bushman culture profoundly influenced her artwork and inspired this show "Masks II." Baker's "masks" are created with layers of South African newspapers and an earthy palette of oil paint, creating works rich in texture that reflect the environment of the Kalahari Bushmen. These images constitute a contemporary perspective on the relationships of color and pattern in primitive society.

See the Mwoyo Arts July 1998 show for examples of Baker's previously shown work.
