LOW LIFE PARADISE ART OF GLEN BARR TP (MR)

by Phoenix
Glenn Barr's robots, creatures, and vixens live in a seedy yet swinging 1960s universe, drenched in the haze of a post industrial hangover. Working out of the burgeoning lowbrow movement in Detroit, Barr uses elements of pop culture to infuse familiarity to an otherwise parallel reality, where angels and devils alike share the same urban playground. With a nod to pulp art and cartooning, Barr's paintings are mesmerizing in both their simplicity and depth.
