Barrett, born in Los Angeles, California, now works in both New York City and Santa Fe, New Mexico. He earned a BS and a MS in Design and his MFA at the University of Michigan. Quite the prolific artist, Barrett has shown his work since 1964 from New York to California. His work is represented in corporate collections such as Neiman-Marcus and Hitachi, in museums in the USA, Japan, and Bulgaria, and in public venues (municipal-owned) from Phoenix to New York City. We are fortunate to have one of his bronzes on loan here at the park. Venus and Psyche exhibits a wonderfully seductive lyrical dance with its sinuous yet rigid organic forms. Barrett's welded bronze assemblages resemble extruded line drawings with positive and negative space playing a key role in the drama. Exquisite movement and tension con-tri-bute to his work as well.
