Description
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.
Furnas, whose paintings reflect an all-over composition, places his canvases on the floor to work, allowing pigment to pool, run, and create abstract marks. He combines these accidental passages with figuration, often to depict violent moments in which heads, arms, hands, or legs are obliterated. This tension created between form, content, and formlessness is key to Furnas’s explosive imagery.
