Masses

'Masses' by Marc Barker, Oil on Panel Painting

This 40" x 40" oil on masonite panel by artist Marc Barker was painted in charcoal and sepia tones, and was created in an 'old world' grisaille style.

"This monochromatic abstract harkens back to my collegiate studies, and as a graduate student teaching zoology with the hours spent staring into a microscope mystified by the primordial world just out of site, a bacterial/protozoan cloud chamber."--Marc Barker
