Born in Belgium to Polish immigrants, concentration camp survivors,
Barb Rydz Ross has lived in New York, London, Hong Kong and Germany.
After working in Human Resources for 23 years, raising three children alone, she returned to painting and studying art at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where she earned certification in both Drawing and Painting. (She has an undergraduate degree in Art from CCNY.) She has also attended classes at Harper College and has taken various workshops across the country with accomplished artists.
Ross has exhibited in Chicago at the Merchandise Mart, at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, New York City at the Jacob Javits Center and her work can be viewed on the website and catalogues of Xanadu Gallery. Four of her larger acrylic paintings are permanently hung in the lobby of One Arlington Plaza, Arlington Heights, IL and other smaller works are hung throughout the building. North Light Books has published one of her collage painting.
I work abstractly, intuitively, with an overpowering need for balance and connection. My content is not literal but emotional, comprised of color, texture and light. By using vivid color, layering with altered papers, creating shapes then connecting forms with lines or shapes, I express the importance of human relationship. By penetrating, stabbing, or touching shapes I make an attempt to relate, to affect, to establish communication, to link together. This need emerges from my solitary life in my studio and the observation that we are losing our ability to related to each other face-to-face because our predominant communication is now conducted online.
