Dan Barry
“As Funny As It May Seem”
April 19 - June 14 2025
Dan Barry combines found objects, ephemera, and vintage frames with mark making and text to produce artworks densely layered with meaning and textural complexity. Tending toward smaller sizes, they engage the viewer on an intimate scale, and invite a dialogue with the work through close inspection. For this exhibition, BGFA has published a limited edition archival pigment print of a reproduction of one of his works.
