Artist’s Statement:
“Historically, storytelling has always been a much enjoyed social and cultural activity. Painting is no different”
There is an abstract quality to my work.
"There are organic forms juxtaposed with geometric shapes.
The viewer's eye flows from left to right much like reading a book. The foreground introduces the background. The midground is the comprehensive story: it sets the stage for the heat and the power. Boxes and squares dot the space, organic shapes play with the light keeping the flow of eye movement.
Subject matter contributes to the story's mystery! Much like a play....the stage is set"!
Every painting tells a story!
Barry McCarthy
