Shawn Barber's intimate renditions of tattooed individuals balance both meticulous brush strokes and loose energy. Figurative in nature, these large paintings take on abstractions with explosive colors, meandering lines and paint dripping down the canvas. His first published book of art titled 'Tatooed Portraits' was published in 2006, followed by his second tome, 'Forever and Ever' a 256 page hardcover book dedicated to the Tattoed Portraits Series.
