Javier Barbosa’s unique manipulations of color, texture, and surface finish create complex paintings that entice the eye from a distance and yield new discoveries on closer inspection. A master of visual invention, Barbosa’s paints not to interpret anything in the physical world but to create magical works free from representation. Barbosa’s masterworks open wide the gates of imagination and wonder. The artist’s exuberantly abstracted arrangements of bold colors and loose brushstrokes make him one of the most distinctive non-objective painters practicing in the Southwest.
