ROBERT BARRY: Dimensions
September 1st - October 6th, 2018
PRESS RELEASE:
Robert Barry is a Professor of Photography Emeritus from Palomar College. His work has been exhibited and collected internationally.
His engaging photographs result from walk-abouts in the streets of whatever city he finds himself. He is attracted to relationships within the frame and works with color, shape, scale, space and viewpoint. His images are of locations that would typically go unnoticed, and often include graffiti. The size of his prints, the sense of depth, and occasionally the lack of it, plays upon the viewer’s perception and invites one to investigate deeper.
Mr. Barry says about his work, “Photography is about the relationship of things. When you continually look at the world to find these relationships, your awareness of your environment increases. All of these considerations are puzzled together to form a cohesive unit where the subject is the whole, the sum of its parts”

ARRTIST BIO:
Robert Barry has had a passion for photography since the late nineteen sixties when he purchased a camera to photograph his first-born daughter. He quickly found that solely making family images did not satisfy his creative photographic appetite. From these early days his interests and pursuits have mostly been in the photo treasure hunt. He loves to wander in and around cities investigating and capturing images about how we build and decorate our environments. Robert finds beauty in things mundane to the majestic.
“As a photographer I am concerned with Visual Perception. I am interested in investigating the connection between how things appear in real life and the changes that occur in translating the location into a photographic image. I try to capture the essence of a place and give it a power, an importance and hopefully create an emotional connection with the viewer. Within the camera’s frame and through the use of attributes like space, shape, scale, color, and viewpoint, I create relationships with the various components of the image. Photography is about the relationships of things. When you continually look at the world to find these relationships, your awareness of your environment increases. All of these considerations are puzzled together to form a cohesive unit where the subject is the whole, the sum of its parts.”
San Francisco State University is his alma mater. He received his Masters in Art in 1978. Robert is currently a Professor Emeritus of Photography at Palomar College in San Marcos, California. His teaching career started at Palomar in 1989.
His Photographs have been exhibited and collected internationally.
