Barnaby Furnas
(American, born 1973)
Biography
Barnaby Furnas is a contemporary American painter known for his gestural paint handling and chaotic imagery. In his portrayals of violent battlefield scenes, the artist melds the formal virtuoso of historical painting techniques with emblems of American history, as seen in his Untitled (Antietam) II (2008). “Paintings don’t just show one minute happening. They can show an hour of things happening,” he has said. Born in Philadelphia, PA in 1973, he received his BFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York in 1995 and his MFA from Columbia University in 2000. Over the years that followed, the artist has been the subject of numerous exhibitions. His works are held in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Albright-Knox Gallery in Buffalo, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, among others.
