Nicholas Barbieri Mixed Media on Canvas "Mother Mix"

Item Details

An original acrylic, oil stick, and pastel painting on canvas titled Mother Mix by artist Nicholas Barbieri (American, 1942-2013), created in 2005. The painting features a web of endless squiggles, overlapped circular forms concentrated in the center, and splattered paint applied in hues of blue, yellow, green, and peach against a peach background. The dripped pigments, gestural brushstrokes, and compulsive repetition displays a sense of controlled spontaneity in the composition. The work is signed, dated, and titled to the verso. It is ready to hang with picture wire to the verso.

Nicholas Barbieri is best known his use of repetitive circular motions in his abstract expressionist style paintings. He received his BFA with honors from Pratt Institute and continued his art education with a MFA at Lehman College. Barbieri’s exploration of the visual relationships and effects of light on form, structure, and space have evolved over his four decade career. He has participated in many solo and group exhibitions and has his work in many private collections including the Clock Tower Gallery, Empire State Building-5th Avenue Gallery, Hundred Acres Gallery, and in The Hudson River Museum.
