Ro2 Art Gallery will present "Sexy Ugly," a solo exhibition featuring new works by artist Barbara Horlander.

Rough around the edges with raw wood, crooked lines, and wonky cuts, her process shows a human hand in the mix with this work. With the inclusion of glittery, glistening resin, Horlander has set out to concoct sculptural paintings, which are half ugly, partially yummy. The artist's hope is that they’re unexpected and a little awkward. The assembled works contain abstract shapes suggesting human form, both appealing and appalling. They’re soft and hard, dull and shiny, awkward and rhythmic.

Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on view through March 21.
