"The places I visit in my paintings are reconstructions of another time, a sense of place shaped through distance and memory."
Carlsen's works in oil are characterized by luminous surfaces that reflect a deep attention to light. Framed in handmade designs crafted by Carlsen, each painting is an homage to place and memory. There is more information about Barry at www.wisconsinacademy.org. |

Spawned from memories of the past, and the people and places that were dear to him, Barry Carlsen paints intimate landscapes that act as emotional vignettes. More than a visual diary, the paintings are for Carlsen a tool for self-discovery that balances personal and broader symbolisms.
