About The Artwork:
Barry's style is a modern abstract technique involving the use of thin layers to create a deep textured surface with vibrant colors.
Barry primarily uses hardboard and panelboard as his canvas due to the intense amount of pressure required to create the textured feel of the work.
Barry uses many types of acrylic based paints and assorted gessos to build textures and create unique blends of colors.
