Nick Barber
[BFA] Painting
I am a creator first and foremost. I find many interests in popular culture because of its chokehold on society, my paintings try to bridge the gaps between different interests of my own and create new narratives that may evoke an emotional response. Whether that is positive or negative doesn’t really matter, I really am most interested in creating a response from the viewer. Creating something that stains the memory of the viewer is much more valuable to me than almost anything at all.
