Hotel Triton c/o McKinley Art Solutions: Genea Barnes - Exposed.

Review by RWM - image c/o McKinley Art Solutions:

Fascinating painted bodies photographed with image overlaps. One exeriences, one feels, the experience of being nude in color in these image collages. The works are skinful and fleshy, but not pornographic. The color schemes sooth, but neither relax nor necessarily excite. Those photographed defy being objectified.
