Barnaby Furnas

With his epic canvases, vibrant palette and explosive brushwork, Barnaby Furnas is one of the most visually audacious painters working today, with numerous solo and group exhibitions around the world. From the apocalyptic violence of battlefield scenes to the ecstasy of rock concerts, the paintings of Furnas are dynamic spectacles of movement, colour and line that flirt between abstraction and figuration. This first monograph which spans the course of his career traces the evolution of the artist and gives insight into his working process behind each complex composition. Visceral and dramatic, the works radiate frenetic energy and turbulence and challenge the conventions and limits of expressionist painting.
