Barrington R. DeMers
Barrington R. DeMers has been living and working in Bradenton Florida since 1983.
Miro, Salvador Dali and Vincent Van Gogh are some of the artists that have inspired
his contemporary style in his artwork. He is especially interested in the interaction
of the color and form in his abstract expressionist style. He is known by his
friends as the "the pixel pusher" because he paints digitally by moving pixels
of color on the computer screen with his digital paint brushes.
Bary said, "I grew up living close to NYV and the MOMA and was exposed to many
modern art styles. I would look at Miro's artwork with a childs's view and see
very playful marks as open, expansive, indeterminate. I also look to Van Gogh
for whom color was the chief symbol of expression. I like to think that my digital
modernistic style is like that of Van Gogh's inimitable, fusion of form and emotion
to help the viewer experience the spiritual essence of man and nature in dark
times."
Bary's digital works of art are Giclée's prints on canvas or paper and are created
and printed using state of the art digital technology.
Bary has done many exhibitions in the South West Florida area and has won numerous
awards and honors including Honorable Mention in the 2D 3D exhibition 2003 at
the Alliance for the Arts in Fort Myers, the Digital Age Art Exhibition 2000 at
Venice Art Center and best of show for Digital Fine Artists Association 2000 show
at Selby Gallery, Ringling School of Art and Design.
