Male Portrait Painting

Barry's work is a powerful statement of man's continual quest for spirituality and the beautiful expression of human physical beauty. Barry confronts the human condition on every level and this drives his passion to paint and create. The imagery & intimacy that Barry creates in his paintings emanates from dreams and visions in which he expresses his awareness of a higher power that permeates our physical world and lights our way with its beauty. Barry's paintings and drawings are empowered with technique, the use of paint, the consistency of oils which seems to flow through the body to the brush, the powers of space, shape, form and color. The conclusion being in how the viewing public interacts with the work, imbued with all emotions – spiritual inspiration, humor, drama, anger or sensuality, becoming reflective and inheriting a deeper access to the surface, becoming more involved with its theme. Barry has donated art to many charities including Breast Cancer, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Childhood Diabetes, Aids Atlanta, Center One, Mario Leumieux Foundation and Sickle Cell Anemia.
