In Barabás’ new works, a liberating sense of freedom and playfulness is intertwined with her previous knowledge, and the combined movements of visceral desire and conscious image-making have shaped these paintings. Her paintings evoke associations in the viewer that s/he has only experienced in an underwater museum or when looking at a microscopic image, their archaic forms as reminiscent of DNA patterns as of landscape detail in aeroplanes.
As we see in the title painting, the various shades of blue, patches of colour and the intertwining and then receding shapes and forms float freely in space, limited only by the finitude of the canvas to the ebb and flow of the currents. Only a step away from this world is his minimalist series of paintings, or his moulded images, which focus on a single event.
In these works, Barabás focuses on a single story, a single motif, its sensuous richness painted with energetic brushstrokes, an element displaced from the space of the two-dimensional painting. These organic forms suggest first and foremost the pure simplicity of nature, the essence of simple sentences stripped of frills.
