WAYNE BARKER - DEUS EX MACHINA

In Wayne Barker’s new works, we see amongst the splashes of color and composition some trees, birds, rain and a river maybe. We see a garden or an indigenous landscape. A wide-open sky or a foreboding hole in the ground. And we see a lightness written all over the quintessential Barker style of telling a story and dropping clues for you to pursue in your imagination. Classic Barker. But different. Very different. Very light and airy and nature like. This is the story of the tsunami of love that gave birth to those differences. This is the story of Wayne Barkers rebirth in a love affair with his magic garden.
