Bill Barrett: Pinnacle

September 4, 2008—October 18, 2008

Barrett's sculptures belong to the classical tradition of American modernism where clarity of form and firmness of structure are coupled with the harmonious juxtaposition of the curvilinear. He expresses a sculptural consciousness of the organic, surfacing into elegant gestures that in their virtually liquid appearance indicate natural growth.

Like much sculpture based on European traditions, Barrett's work carries with it a memory of the archaic.
