Barbara Laube: Morning Has Broken at Gold/Scopophilia Montclair

Featured Artist

Barbara Laube, installation view


These works are a way of repairing, an offering and a form of prayer 
They are a way of making sense of my life my loves and beliefs
They are about questioning and the acceptance of not knowing
They reflect my inner and outer life 
 
They teach me and I follow
 
I cut up of old paintings, 
the macro has become micro
and past and present have merged
 
The familial and collective transitioning of the world 
Piecing together a loved one’s psyche
 
Think of them as a cat. I cannot know their mind
I can offer saucers of milk
 
The work is complete when it has transcended the materials and a new presence is born
They are alive and ever changing
​
-BL, 2021

Her vibrant portraits serve as a tribute to her own experiences and upbringing, while creating a relatable narrative that celebrates African American presence. The honesty and value of family are extremely present in McLaurin’s recent body of work, where she reflects on her relationships with loved ones by depicting intimate snapshots of domesticity.
