Barnaby Furnas — Resurrection (White)
Barnaby Furnas

Resurrection (White)

Barnaby Furnas's *Resurrection (White)* employs his signature technique of flooding urethane and dye across canvas, allowing the materials to pool, bleed, and surge in ways that feel simultaneously controlled and chaotic. The composition evokes a visceral sense of spiritual and physical transformation, with luminous whites and fluid forms suggesting bodies or energies caught in a state of violent transcendence. Furnas harnesses the unpredictable properties of his medium to mirror the ineffable drama of resurrection itself, blurring the boundary between material process and sacred subject matter.
