Nature’s vast creativity is displayed in the intriguing, mysterious, and fanciful array of life forms delicately compared and contrasted in Chad Barrett’s “Nature’s Curiosities” series. A Painting and Art History graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design, Barrett fuses classical painting techniques with a sleek Southern decorative tradition. His work is a medley of country landscapes, still-lifes rich with shapes and movement, and elegant, period-style portraits. Utilizing construction and deconstruction, Barrett’s art has universal appeal, embracing both the original and the familiar.
