Artist Uncovers Past Work in New Sailcloth Exhibit

Artist Barbara E. Cohen is showcasing her latest solo exhibition, "Showing Up," at Farm Projects in Wellfleet. This exhibition, running from June 13 to June 29, presents a collection of paintings crafted on materials such as recycled sailcloth, linen, and wooden panels.

The works delve into Cohen's extensive five-decade career, layering oil paint to reveal imagery and gestures from earlier stages of her artistic journey. She intentionally returns to canvases and panels that bear the marks of previous work, uncovering and reinterpreting obscured or abandoned elements.

The gallery will host an opening reception from 6 to 8 p.m. on June 13. Additionally, an artist talk featuring André van der Wende is scheduled for 6 p.m. on June 18. Cohen, who maintains studios in New York and Provincetown, has a distinguished career with numerous grants and residencies, including international opportunities.

Farm Projects, located at 355 Main St., Wellfleet, is dedicated to fostering a creative community through exhibitions and experimental programs. It also houses the Farm Print Room, a resource for contemporary print-based art. The gallery is open Wednesday through Monday, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and by appointment.
