For over 20 years, Peter Barrickman has let imagination and invention guide his work. Barrickman’s stacked and layered compositions negotiate the picture plane with idiosyncratic maneuvering. Although his work has fun with art history by reconfiguring past concepts of abstraction and figuration, these playful drawings and paintings also suggest open-ended and associative narratives. As Barrickman’s work invites the viewer to wander through his loosely formed geometry and fields of color, we encounter figures and characters that equally collapse and anchor his unique compositions.
