BARNABY WHITFIELD'S paintings are powerfully symbolic and sexually charged. They cope with shame and absession, and are full of visual historical context. Beside being a great painter Barnaby has also being an opera singer as well as a model.

Born in Miami, Florida, Barnaby Whitfield lives and works in New York, where he maintains a reputation as "a colorful character with a past that isn’t so much checkered as it is striped or polka-dotted, or maybe something along the lines of a vintage toile" (Anthem magazine, 2008).
