Description

Any lover of contemporary art will enjoy this package of admission for two to the Morean Arts Center Hot Shop and Galleries and a Barnaby Furnas hardcover book!


A visit to the Morean Arts Center Glass Studio & Hot Shop is an opportunity to get behind the scenes and observe resident glass artists creating unique works of art. After viewing the Glass Studio & Hot Shop, visit the Morean galleries for a variety of exciting contemporary art exhibitions.


Known for his epic canvases, vibrant palette, and explosive brushwork, Barnaby Furnas is one of the most visually audacious painters working today. This first monograph, which spans the course of his skyrocketing career, traces the evolution of his oeuvre and reveals the intricacies of his complex compositions. Dramatic and provocative, the paintings in Barnaby Furnas radiate with frenetic energy and turbulence, while exploring archetypal themes of love, death, and war.


These powerful images, which have been exhibited in galleries and museums around the world, flirt with the boundaries of abstraction and figuration, while challenging the conventions and limits of expressionist painting. From the apocalyptic violence of epic battlefield scenes to the driving ecstasy of rock concerts, Furnas's paintings are dramatic spectacles of line, color, and movement.
