Glenn Barr's robots, creatures and vixens live in,a seedy yet swinging 1960s universe, drenched in,the haze of a post-industrial hangover. Working,out of the burgeoning lowbrow movement in Detroit,Barr uses elements of pop culture to infuse,familiarity to an otherwise parallel reality,where angels and devils alike share the same urban,playground. With a nod to pulp art and cartooning,Barr's paintings are mesmerising in both their,simplicity and depth.
