Bruce
Barnbaum's photography expands upon the dynamics he finds everywhere
in nature, relating forces that move the universe to the sweeping
forms that mold his imagery. His first book, Visual Symphony, illustrates
his range of subject matter approached alternately in a realistic
and abstract manner.
A long-time resident artist of the gallery and a perennial local
favorite based in Granite Falls, WA, Bruce Barnbaum recently unveiled
his third Benham exhibition, comprising his most riveting and original
work to date. One of the highlights of the show is the "slit
canyons" wall - a haunting and lyrical composition of light,
form and motion, resonating with emotion. This sumptuous array of
photographs, shrouded in a poetic mystery, urges the viewer to unlock
the many secrets lurking beneath the façade. Bruce's background
in math and physics is clearly evident as each image flows into
the other in a continuous series of unbroken lines and shapes, like
lucid elaborations of complex equations. The result is intriguing
and often recalls to mind the tumultuous and dynamic forces of the
universe, where space and dimension stretch the limits of the human
imagination.
The Benham Gallery has available a limited number of prints by Bruce
Barnbaum. We believe art is best sold on a one-to-one basis and
will generally provide any reasonable information about the arist,
including the artist's resume, background, and the availability
of books and prints for sale. The Benham Gallery accepts most major
payment types and transactions can be carried out by e-mail, phone,
mail, or better yet - by stopping by in person so we can familiarize
you with the the work. The pictures on this site are no match compared
to seeing the real thing in person.
