    Sage Barnes, "Reflection 6", 2024
    "There's always this point of reflection where you look back on events or memories and I think that's important to process and realize where you are. The time after the time something happened."  - Sage Barnes
    Sage Barnes  is a self-described “painter and sometimes other things.” His work is characterized by his urban street-art inspired portraits and still life paintings. In his "Blooms" series, with an emphasis on precise, methodical application as well as the building of layers, Barnes has spent countless hours poring over each canvas to obtain the desired visual effect of suspension and weightlessness. Ultimately, the pieces emphasize the importance of reflection and looking back on the memories and events that shape a person and make them who they are today. 

  • you're always in this final bloom of yourself in a way. Always changing and hopefully it's for the better. That's why I liked working with the resin, it kind of encapsulates this version of the flowers we would want to keep forever."
