Glenn Barr at Outre Gallery


Seems like a while since I had any new art up here. This will be well worth a look.

Outré Gallery is proud to be hosting a full-scale exhibition by one of our most popular advocates of the urban subculture and noir vision, a genre sometimes referred to as Pop Surrealism. Glenn Barr's work blends his own brand of gritty pop imagery from trash culture to a mid-century wasteland aesthetic. His brooding apocalyptic city scape vignettes of moral ruin still manages to embrace a visual satire of humour and pathos. All this and a stylistic nod from his underground comics and animation days thrown into the mix.
Glenn Barr will be out from hometown Detroit to meet and greet at his exhibitions in both Melbourne and Sydney. Glenn will be signing his books “Lowlife Paradise” and “Haunted Paradise” on Saturday 23 June at Outré Melbourne, and Saturday 30 June at Outré Darlinghurst. Both publications are available for sale from Outré.
