Barnaby Furnas: FOCUS May 16, 2007

Barnaby Furnas was born in 1973 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He lives and works in Brooklyn. Furnas's large-scale paintings depict continuing themes of war, suicide, desertion, love, indulgence and celebration. His expressionistic canvases, infused with bursts of red, white, blue and yellow, operate in a middle zone between figuration and abstraction, surface and spatiality, and narrative themes and formal modes of image-making.
