The third exhibition in the Raw/Cooked series features the work of Red Hook-based artist Shura Chernozatonskaya.

The third exhibition in the Raw/Cooked series features the work of Red Hook-based artist Shura Chernozatonskaya. For her Brooklyn Museum presentation, she has created two site-specific painting installations. The first consists of thirty-three canvases combined to create one large-scale work, displayed in the Museum’s Rubin Lobby. Each canvas features a composition of circles, evoking traffic lights, dominoes, and the rhythms of Latin music. The second installation, located in the Beaux-Arts Court, draws inspiration from the nearby European paintings collection. Chernozatonskaya has created four painted diptychs, each responding to one of the European galleries’ four themes: “Painting Land and Sea,” “Tracing the Figure,” “Art and Devotion,” and “Russian Modern/Русский Модерн.” Chernozatonskaya graduated from Oberlin College in 2000 and received her M.F.A. from the New York Studio School in 2006. She was recommended by advisory board member Ron Gorchov.
