Artisti Statement - 'Synchronicity'
This collection of acrylic works on canvas is a visual exploration of synchronicity, the experience of meaningful coincidence. Layered abstract compositions depict multiple views simultaneously which, like synchronous events, form patterns to create the larger picture. Shapes extend beyond the canvas edge to suggest each piece is but a small glimpse of a still larger framework. Color is a key element serving to describe the mood or tone and is utilized to achieve balance within each composition.

The Gallery @ Barr Photographics is Abingdon's oldest traditional photography studio and newest fine art gallery, offering a full line of photographic services, three fine art galleries, a unique gift shop and a custom frame shop, specializing in conservation framing for all your needs.  Galleries include the Gift Gallery, the Studio Gallery and the Corner Gallery which features fine art exhibits presented in a rotation of six feature artists per year.   Hanging in the Corner and Studio galleries are framed original fine art works of water color, oil, pastel and acrylics by approximately fifty local, regional, national and international artists. In the Gift Gallery, the “Art File” features a myriad of unframed fine art originals, as well as, lithographic and giclee prints.

Also found in the Gift Gallery are unique gifts of decidedly American Southwest flavor, such as, Navajo pottery, fabric art, silver, gold, and sculptural creations. Gift Gallery exclusives include Carthusia Perfume from the island of Capri in Italy as well as Landstrom’s Black Hills Gold creations. The Carthusia line of heavenly scents for women and men was first established on the island in 1681 by the Carthusian Monks and was available exclusively on Capri until June 2004, when The Gallery @ Barr Photographics was chosen as the twelfth distributor in the United States. Nicknamed the “Scent of the Stars” because of the A-listers who use it as signature scents Carthusia boasts a level of exclusivity that is rarely seen in today’s retail market. Another gallery exclusive is Landstrom’s Black Hills Gold jewelry, one of the surviving art forms from the Gold Rush period of the American west. Created in the Black Hills of South Dakota in 1880, the Landstrom family was one of the originators of this jewelry art form. Black Hills Gold is still produced in the original design motif of grapes, the leaves, the vines and the pods. Indicated by three colors, rose, green and yellow gold, the Landstrom’s creations are truly a distinctive art form rarely seen east of the Mississippi.
