Barnaby Furnas — Bad Back
Barnaby Furnas

Bad Back

"Bad Back" by Barnaby Furnas is an intensely visceral work rendered in pigment, urethane, and ink on calfskin, a choice of support that immediately lends the piece an organic, bodily resonance. Furnas employs his signature fluid, high-velocity technique, allowing pigment to flood and pool across the supple surface in cascading waves of color that evoke both physical rupture and raw sensation. The work pulses with an urgent, almost violent energy, collapsing the boundary between material and flesh.
