Alison Barry

Picture
With the spirit of curiosity and artistic experimentation, and in pursuit of evocative juxtapositions and compositions, Alison Barry sets out almost daily, in all seasons, with her painting gear. Her work is defined by strong shapes, clean colors and expressive brushwork, influenced by past and contemporary painters such as Emile Gruppe, Aldro Hibbard, Charles Movalli, Edward Seago, Jerry Weiss and Stapleton Kearns. Close observation on location bring immediacy and freshness to her paintings. Alison resides in Southern Maryland, home to crab boats, tobacco barns and the beautiful Chesapeake Bay.

Statement:
I paint outside because unexpected things happen constantly. The information available in front of me is multidimensional and multi-sensory. My goal is to communicate the immediacy of fleeting light effects and weather conditions in the sky and landscape, and also to showcase the beauty of paint itself, the textures and vibrations, with interesting and evocative compositions and designs.
