Praise for Monster's
Progress "An
accomplished and quite stunning body of work." "Barsness
seeks to create a relationship to the canvas that is as much about contact
and sensation as it is about the autobiographical scenes, moments evertday
life, portraits, mythic and religious subjects drawn from art history,
and tableaus of social commentary that pervade his canvases. In fact the
articulation of such themes may be of less importance than the arousal
of a tactile sensibility. It is such an awakening of touch that he is
really after and why the rounded, bulbous feel of early twentieth-century
cartoons often crops up in his work."
