Shawn
barber – “Hannah Aitchison Hands Study 1” 2012, (oil on panel) 24" x 18"
|
Shawn Barber is gearing up for his next solo show at JoshuaLiner Gallery in NYC, "Memoir: The Tattooed Portraits Series,” and we have
some video footage and photography to share with you before the June 28th
opening. I’m a big fan of Shawn’s tattoo portraits and am always excited when a
new collection of work is readying to launch. I was lucky enough to get an
early preview some months back on the then almost completed paintings that
feature some of the tattoo worlds biggest and most loved figures. With new portraits
of legends like Ed Hardy to cult hero’s like Grime and one time tv personality,
Hanna Aitchison, there is no shortage of breath taking oil work to be had. Barber
also went very big with this show featuring some of the painters’ largest
pieces to date. Check out the video below (beats provided by Aesop Rock) and
make sure to pass by the gallery once the show opens to see the real thing if
you live in or are around the NYC area.
