The Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art is proud to present Color Made, an exhibition of 19 artists who use color to define and reshape the world. Manipulating bright shades of blue, red, pink, yellow, and green across different mediums such as painting, fabric sculpture, and cast glass, these artists establish spaces where they can create narratives and build community connections. By choosing to cover a surface with color—or by making the color and the surface indivisible—they experiment with the idea of painting, turning the traditional painters’ canvas into an independent, manipulable form and asking if other materials can play the same role.

The Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art is proud to present Yoko Kondo Konopik: On Canvas. Spanning decades, On Canvas is the first major museum exhibition to explore the practice of this Las Vegas-based abstract artist. Viewers will have an opportunity to see the full range of Konopik’s mature oeuvre, encompassing paintings from the early 1980s to the present.

Trained as a painter at ateliers in Tokyo and Paris, Konopik has spent almost half a century refining her personal lexicon of minimalist curves and lines. Her abstractions respond swiftly to opportunities for mark-making, finding humor in unexpected shape-shifts and rich moments of color.
