Pink Cartons

Robert Barber is a painter and sculptor who loves the physical act of creation and is fascinated by the relationship between two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects. He constructs his sculptures by using pieces of scavenged cardboard. In Pink Cartons, the die-cut shapes and folded forms of cardboard boxes are readily apparent. It examines spaces, voids, and planes, all on a flat surface. Though sculptural in its analysis, the drawing’s making is painterly, with layered and blended colors.
