Barsness Critical Praise |
By James Barsness These spectacular, complex, mixed-media paintings of Jim Barsness fuse such disparate sources as medieval European religious painting and 1960s pop art to create haunting and sometimes bizarre scenes that alternately mock and celebrate various aspects of human behavior. Jim Barsness was born in Bozeman, Montana and currently lives in Venice, California. His work has been reviewed in Artforum, The Los Angeles Times, ARTnews, and The San Francisco Chronicle. This spectacular oversized collection includes 16 full-color plates and essays by renowned critics Bill Berkson and John Yau. |
