THE ARTIST

Post-modern in form + style, Troy Barbitta’s work navigates the line between the literal and the metaphorical.

His art is a collision of concepts where the traditional and the new are placed against each other in non-usual scenarios.

Often out of context, Barbitta’s imagery generates visual tension: it is through exploration of this tension that Barbitta’s intended meanings become apparent.

Each piece has a unique and self contained story. Through his work, Barbitta often draws attention to inconsistencies in modern life, and western values. This makes the work a social commentary, where Barbitta’s intellect, humour and wry observation bubble through to create a rich tapestry for the viewer to engage with and reflect on.
