Barry (Portrait Series: Innerworlds) Acrylic

Barry is painted in hazy yellows and daybreak shades of blue, a deceptively gentle palette that conceals subversive undertones. Loose, intuitive strokes mingle with compact marks, creating a surface of duality: lightness masking tension.

Overpainting reinforces form while blended hues slip into ambiguity, suggesting what lies beneath polished veneers. The edges remain unpainted, leaving the process visible and honest. Barry is elusive and unsettling, not wanting to be seen; a portrait of the disquiet beneath corporate gloss.
