Ray Anthony Barrett: Word is Bond : Project Room
Past exhibition
Overview
DIANE ROSENSTEIN announces Ray Anthony Barrett: Word Is Bond, a solo
exhibition of 12 new ink on paper drawings by the Los Angeles-based artist.
Barrett’s intricate tableaus depict anthropomorphically masked figures
engaged in allegorical narratives. In the satirical tradition of Lewis Carroll and
the visual language of 19th Century political cartoons, these compositions
include poetic texts that uses hip-hop vernacular to articulate an evolving
mythology.
