Robert Baribeau

I found Robert Baribeau in an Art News gallery ad. These two works, the first in charcoal and pastel on paper, the second, oil stick and acrylic on paper, demonstrate enviable sensitivity of mark and painterly effort, the essence of idea clearly reflected. Note the hints of Johns and Rauschenberg in the painting, and the quiet, subtle yet definite layers of thought, the notes of color requiring attention.
