In Glenn Barr’s second solo exhibition at Copro Gallery, we return to his unique blend of surreal creatures, specters and tragic characters living in a seedy universe, drenched in the grit and haze of a post-apocalyptic urban dreamscape. His Detroit work has been labeled as Pop Surrealism, Pop Pluralism, Lowbrow, Underground, Regional, Outsider, Ashcan – or as he coins the phrase, “B Culturalism”. Glenn finds inspiration in the city streets as well as from pop and counter cultures that infuse a familiarity in his many parallel realities. With a nod to old master painting, pulp art, comics and animation, Glenn Barr’s paintings are mesmerizing in their narrative complexities and technical depth.
