About Barnaby:
Beautiful and deeply twisted are words I’ve heard used to describe Barnaby’s painting style. His work is as intriguing as it is stunning. Barnaby is represented by 31grand in New York and will exhibit there later this year.
Very nice, amazing detail, and of course something to appeal to someone like me- the roseate spoonbill! P.S. I prefer you with green hair instead of blonde…Fab!
Barnaby’s work is amazing.
amazing stuff. reminds me of a creepy film that i may have watched as a child
Amazing work. One of the best artists working in NYC. It’s a true gift to be able to create something that evokes such strong thoughts and emotions. Beautiful and chilling.
gorgeous work..this guy has an amazing hand and a very fertile imagination. love it!
It’s like a book that came to life. Just magic.
I’m afraid the Oompa Loompa rather looks like a velvet painting to me. However, I do appreciate the artistic value of some of his other works, even though they do not appeal to me.
make sure and check out his website. These are beautiful samples, but you have to see the entire breadth of his work. Some truly startling imagery.

I like these, possibly for precisely the reason Roger, et al, don’t care for the style. I tend to look for art that tells me something somewhat new—or peels back a different perspective on something already in the canon—which comes from a moral and cultural place that is different than my own. If I wanted art that was always easy to digest, I would make and look at only my own work. In short, I think this work did precisely what the artist intended.
I totally agree with magie… really cool deatail. I would give it 5 stars, its got more creativity than any other artist i’ve seen in a while. Great job Barnaby!
