Essay »
Two ways to begin. The first, that Vincent Barré's recent sculptures are his most allusive and complex yet - intimate, highly charged objects that make us meditate on what it means to be human. The second, that his recent sculptures are his most abstract and willful to date, as though after nearly two decades of making work that alluding more or less directly to the body, he allowed himself new freedom to invent forms independent of the human figure.
