Barry Stone

Throughout his career, Austin-based artist Barry Stone has approached photography with a philosopher’s eye. The camera lens is just one of many transformative photographic tools that Stone employs in his practice. In his ongoing series of “data-bent” pictures, Stone manipulates the digital code of his images to change their appearance through purposeful tampering. Colors and composition shift, with schisms and interruptions becoming central to the reading of the work. His pictures often touch on personal narrative and a focus on his own place within a larger terrestrial landscape, yet reflect outward as well, forestalling an easy read.

Review

Barry Stone's "Lost Pines" Reviewed in Glasstire

Lost Pines, Barry Stone's recent solo show at Lora Reynolds Gallery in Austin, TX., was reviewed in Glasstire, a Texas-based arts publication. Barbara Purcell explores the dual nature of this body of work; along with images of the burnt wreckage of the Lost Pines Forest, Stone includes images from a fire that took the life of his grandfather in 2002, thus weaving together the narratives of personal and communal wounds.
