cold leftovers

colonna contemporary, wayne, pa

solo exhibition

In this solo presentation, ideas once left behind take center stage. Through this series of battle-worn paintings, Bhare sifts through the good, the bad, and the ugly—depictions of ordinary life layered with color and line, emotions at their peak of instability, and things better left unsaid. He reflects on whether he has discovered a deeper well while growing as an artist or if his past ideas will outshine anything he could create in the future. The remnants of his emotions run cold, but with the right care, they could be warmed into something great.

drinking water could cure heavy feelings

solo exhibition

In this solo presentation, drinking water could cure heavy feelings; water, in its simplicity and essentiality,  becomes a metaphor for emotional substance in Bhare's paintings. Through this series of fantastical paintings,  he offers a diagnosis— depictions of ordinary life layered with color and line, guiding the viewer through the highs and lows of daily existence. These works provide a cathartic experience, cleansing lingering emotions and heavy feelings. It’s not an absolute truth, but it seems to help in certain situations. “Could I simply be dehydrated?”
