Bari Wieselman Schulman

Bari Wieselman Schulman

Bari Wieselman Schulman is a modern abstract painter and mixed-media artist obsessed with color, language (and color as language), and the ways in which art and art objects invite dialogue and carry meaning in(to) the world. A divergent thinker with an intuitive and experimental process, her work challenges us to see, feel, and think differently. Bari’s work is the translation, the visual embodiment of an intense mind in constant motion. Utilizing bold mark-making, saturated color, texture, form, and movement, her work encourages connection and dialogue with our neuropsychological sense of self. Chicago-born and rooted in Madrid, Bari holds a PhD in psychology from the University of Chicago and spent years in the design world working at the intersection of people, brands, and products. Her background in language and behavior provides a unique window into the relationships between humans, objects, and spaces, and is a critical frame of reference for her work. Bari has shown her work across the globe, sharing her fine art and art objects with those who seek out the bold, the vivid, the evocative, the thought-provoking, the dialogic, the extraordinary… Bari lives near Chicago with her family amidst perpetual creative chaos.
