Barb Vogel is both a photographer and artist from Ohio. Her work frequently concentrates on aspects associated with relationships and the passage of time. Throughout the years, she has obtained countless accolades and has received tremendous professional experience as an instructor of photography, curator and much more.
Raised in Granville, Barbara achieved a B. F. A. In artwork and proceeded to earn an M. F. A. In photography. She has been part of many displays and did a solo exhibit in 2011. It was in that same year that she was honored with specialist recognition at the Ohio State Fair.
The Arts Council will be supporting her during a residency which she has received for September of 2012, which is to take place at the Vermont Center. At present Barbara is a co-owner of Spring Street Studios. She also remains a fellow associate of the Ohio Art League as well as Creative Arts for Women.
Upcoming projects include a group show to be held at the Ross Museum located in Delaware, Ohio in March of 2013. This show is titled "Diverse" and will include six other female artists and their work. Following that show in May of 2013 will be an exhibition with Eileen Woods and Paula Nees at The Works Gallery in Newark, Ohio.
The Ohio Arts Council's Individual Artists Award was given to Barbara in 2009 for her encaustic portrait work. The encaustic work, particularly the portraits of family and friends, are taken with color negative film. The negative is then scanned and printed as a digital image which is mounted onto a board and lastly it is fused with pigment and wax and coated.
The portraits are taken out of focus and this choice is intentional. The same aesthetic was given to her Cosmos Fall series. Barbara's House Collage series is very interesting because it features photos of her family members that are printed out onto canvas and then combined with personal memorabilia and fused in encaustic pigment.
Barbara's wooden portraits were actually motivated by memorabilia and pictures from her family's private collection. A large number of these particular items were actually stumbled upon prior to the sale of her parent's house, and she thought it would be a wonderful way to record these images. An easy artistic method is implemented for the wooden portraits. Negatives in black and white are made from the image and then printed directly onto a beautiful wooden surface. The surface area is protected with emulsion. Oil paints as well as carvings dug directly into the surface help make every piece come alive. Barbara has finished 50 portraits in this unique series, which in turn consists of all her first cousins.
You can contact Barb Vogel through her website if you have questions or comments regarding her artwork and upcoming exhibitions or projects. Her work in both photography and painting is always unique and inspiring. It is both bright and dramatic, allowing the viewer to have an alternative interpretation of an otherwise straightforward image.
