Artist Statement: Barry Barbour-Duncan cut his first teeth near Hughson California in a farming community called Gratton. Some of his earliest memories are wondering what the heck he was doing there. He had big city dreams so as soon as he could he moved to the big metropolis of Modesto, CA. Didnt take long before he was in San Francisco where he discovered the joys of hanging out in seedy establishments with people wearing weird clothes & listening to weird music. Barry had finally found his people, & he seemed to be drawn to the oddest of the odd. But do not limit Barry to only relating to the odd. He likes extremes & finds sensitivity, intelligence, & beauty as intriguing as roughness, stupidity & ugliness. This life of exploration is reflected in Barrys works. Expect to find rich colors, black & white, fine detail, blur, grain, patterns, people, inanimate objects, animate objects. It is clear what the subject matter is in some of his Photography, in others it will take a little more thought. Fun is also an important ingredient in Barrys work; look for it to see if you also appreciate fun. If you need a label Impressionism weighs heavily in his work. Barry started studying art in Kindergarten & continued studying it up until his first year of community college. He then went a different direction in his formal studies earning an MS in Psychology. Do his psychology studies have an effect on his art? You will have to be the judge. But not to sound too pretentious you can sum Barrys style as He likes pretty colors & funny looking things! "Muscle" represents the muscle car culture of the time of his youth. Please check out some of his other photographs at fancypicturetaker.com
