Sarah Beth Goncarova (born 1980) is an American painter, sculptor, and installation artist known for abstract textile pieces and non-specific figurative scenes. Her works are in several individual, corporate, and public collections.

Early personal life

Sarah Beth Goncarova was born in 1980. Her father was an environmental scientist and her mother, an art teacher.[2] At an early age she studied to play the piano and later reported experiencing chromesthesia, saying "when I would listen to music, I would visualize sinuous colorful shapes in space." She performed with the Alexandria Symphony Orchestra at an early age, with her public debut at age nine.[4] Kim Allen Kluge conducted that debut, and Andre Watts loaned Goncarova his personal piano for the performance.[5]

Education

{{blp sources|section|date=February 2019}}

Goncarova graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2002 from Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts, receiving a Bachelor of Fine Art in Sculpture and Extended Media, with a minor in Art History. She then matriculated at Maryland School of Architecture where she combined her interests in architecture, stage design, and puppetry in her masters thesis. She received her master's degree in Architecture in 2005, also graduating Magna Cum Laude.

Career

Goncarova continued to paint during her time as a student of architecture. Shortly after graduating, she moved to an apartment whose landlord forbade the use of paint; in response she worked in torn watercolor paper and collage.[6] She also incorporated plaster, fibers, and ink, and devoted herself full-time to these works, with a small exhibition in San Francisco in December 2006,[7] and a solo show in Palo Alto, California in October 2007.[8]

By 2008 she had moved to a less restrictive home studio, and resumed painting in oil at the suggestion of a gallerist.[6] Her first paintings of this period were primarily portraits, landscapes, and still lives. These works featured at Kaleid Gallery (San Jose, California) in October of that year.[10] She then embarked on socially significant series such as The Wake Project in 2009, where seemingly calm landscapes belie underlying disasters.[2] For example, Lighter Fluid depicts a vibrant seascape, where the bright ripples in the water are the result of an oil spill; Once An Orchard appears to be a Wild West desert when it actually depicts a former orchard, abandoned due to drought.[12] Her series Where Ice Meets Sky, also started in 2009, references global warming via scenes of iceberg calving,[12] which she witnessed during a trip to Iceland. These featured in her solo exhibition Lush/Bleak during the summer of 2009,[15] and in the Blue Planet group show at San Francisco's SOMArts Cultural Center Gallery.[16]

She also began exhibiting in shows with feminist themes during this time, including the Control show juried by Guerrilla Girls West, and Reversing the Gaze: Man As Object.[17]

Goncarova returned to minimalist and purely abstract paintings in her Rainy Season, Dawn, Night Spin and Cosmos series in 2010-2011, which showed at galleries including New Haven's John Slade Ely Center for Contemporary Art. In 2011, her larger than life work “Hunks of Burnin’Love” was selected by the curator of painting and sculpture at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art for exhibition at the Sanchez Arts Center in Pacifica, California.{{citation needed|date=November 2013}}

In 2012 she created a series of large-scale sculptural installations, working with textiles, called Keeping Time With Needle and Thread. This allowed her to resume sculpting while continuing using feminist themes, referencing cloth, sewing, and needlecraft as "women's work," while avoiding any literalism in pictorial work. These made their public debut at Gallery 195 in New Haven, and have been also exhibited at the Whitney Center, the Kehler-Liddell Gallery, and the A.I.R. Gallery in Brooklyn. The Hiestand Galleries of Miami University selected the large-scale piece "May–June (2012)" from this series for their Young Sculptors' Exhibition of 2013 as part of her nomination for the prestigious William and Dorothy Yeck Award.[18] In 2013, Goncarova received grants from the Barbara Deming Memorial Fund and from the Puffin Foundation for her textile-sculptures.[1]

In August 2013, Goncarova won sponsorship from Artspire, a program of the New York Foundation for the Arts, for the continuation of her series Keeping Time with Needle and Thread, in which she furthers her exploration of the definitions of sculpture, combining needle-crafts, sculpture, sound and performance art.[18]

Writing

Goncarova published the monograph A Yearlong Summer on her work in 2010, writing the book's introduction as well as an essay for each piece.[6]

In 2012 Goncarova co-authored and edited Sonia's Song, Sonia Korn-Grimani's World War II and post-war memoir.[22]
