Lake Worth-- Post War Depression Imagery of Serafima Sokolov at Rolando Chang Barrero Fine Art Gallery

Among the works on display, of most note,  is Serafima's portrait of Dorothea Lange which embodies the spirit of the photographer. 

Lange was one of the most influential American documentary photographer and photojournalist best  known for her Depression-era work for the Farm Security Administration. humanizing the consequences of the Great Depression.

Sokolov's use of bright "acid" colors to contrast other elements painted in rich blacks and whites produce the collage-like effect that has brought her much recognition.

Socolov's beautifully rendered oil paintings capture nostalgia and sadness of the Great Depression seamlessly taking the viewer to a time much simpler in American history.

Serafima Sokolov is a Russian born artist who immigrated to the United States just prior to the fall of the former Soviet Union. She casts an evocative eye towards modern issues such as war, equal rights and theocracy. Her artwork has been shown at the University of North Florida as a guest artist for Peace Awareness Week.

Selections from this exhibition will travel to the Benzaiten Center for Creative Arts

for display during Benzaiten's Grand Opening on the evening of January 23rd.

This past weekend, local artist and impresario Rolando Chang Barrero’s newly opened Lake Worth art gallery hosted the opening reception for Barrero’s annual “B/W: Affair and Exhibition.” If you missed the opening reception, you can still catch the artwork through Jan. 15, at no cost. 

The exhibition features the colorful, deceptively abstract art of Palm Beach painter James Rabidoux, whose new works feature words hidden in esoteric designs. They will be accompanied by two window installations from German artist and self-described “cultural instigator” Uta Brauser—macabre and surreal works from this public art pioneer (pictured).
