Repare! Por Favor
Silkscreen Print

Repare! Por Favor showcases Barbara
Rae’s talent as a colourist, achieving beautiful depth and harmony
of tone from a range of bold colours.
She has used a variety of techniques to build up the layers of
the composition, from printing, to collage, to paint. Her use of
Spanish reveals her love of the country in which
she has found so much of her inspiration.
The text included in the image seems to act as a command,
ordering the heart to repair itself. Below this
magic word we see a heart at the moment of impact
when its two halves are reunited. The section of printed text
towards the top of the piece is in fact a list of artist's
signatures, implying that art can help to mend a broken
heart.
