Surprised there wasn't a thread for Glenn here. Love his work, the artist that really got me into art. Would love to own an original, that bronze statue wouldn't be bad either.

Just saw that this piece was in the Playboy Redux show... Nice. Absolutely beautiful. This and the Biskup where my favorites. I thought this show was going to sell better. |

Hi! Glenn has a new book coming out in September but there will be some advance copies available at La Luz de Jesus for his upcoming show which opens on June 3 - Here's some info about the book! About the book: Detroit-based artist Glenn Barr presents a 96-page compilation featuring details from 80 paintings and drawings he created over the past five years. Inspired by the complex expressions and raw emotions revealed by faces, Barr invokes the human condition, creating a multitude of personalities ranging from extraordinarily common to extreme and fantastic. Barr uses pencil and brush to render elegant and elongated necklines, exaggerated eyes, and the gentle or jagged slopes shaping the noses or foreheads of the men, women, and monsters he creates, whether they are beautiful, ordinary, or even grotesque. Expressed in the intricate details of each image, Barr presents a delicate mix of texture, color and line typical of the his loose but carefully executed style. Turn the page to reveal subtle or manic emotions of the wise, the wicked and the wistful. "Faces" brings each reader one step closer to experiencing first hand the compelling mind and interesting characters found in the world of Glenn Barr. "Distortion and contortion of the FACE gives me the freedom to tell a better story and to create a better composition. Elongating the neck and exaggerating the eyes, the forehead either grossly enlarged or minutely petite, the odd slope of the nose, even the oversized and perhaps misplaced mouth, can reveal the subtlest emotions. Even the hair framing the FACE can stream decorously, capable of communicating a life all its own, one grounded perhaps in vague tragedy or masked rapture. I also love the play of light and shadow, assisting and enhancing the narrative, creating mood and energy within the frame, expressing the emotion. In essence, it’s all about dynamics." Release date for the book is September 1 - La Luz de Jesus will be receiving a special advance shipment for the event. Hardcover: 96 pages, published by Last Gasp, Release date: September 1, 2011, English, ISBN-13: 978-0867197679, 6 x 6 x 0.5 inches, 8 ounces Attachments:
