Paintings Made With Tar

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Theodor Barr's Deep Space Art

— July 21, 2008 — Art & Design
This painting series of tar paintings are part of Theodor Barr's main body of deep space works that were exhibited at the Gora gallery in Montréal, Canada this year.

Barr translated the forms and colors viewed from deep space, sent to earth by the Hubble telescope, into live, vivid and powerful art. In his current paintings, Barr uses his unique technique of multilevel tar, acrylic and oil combinations to demonstrate the basic forms of galaxies and nebulae. The most radiant, remote and gallant galaxies come to life on big canvases.

Barr displays a constant search for the elementary forces that created the universe, as can be detected in supernovas, pulsars, red giants, gamma rays burst and other galactic gigantic phenomena's.
The combination between Barr's inspiration from the celestial skies and his private esoteric language gives those paintings a new dimension of artistic expression.
Trend Themes

2. Multilevel Techniques - Artists are finding novel combinations of materials and methods to create complex, textured works that push the boundaries of traditional painting techniques.
3. Esoteric Language - Artists are incorporating their own unique symbolic languages into their works, adding a layer of mystery and intrigue for viewers to decipher.
Industry Implications

2. Photography - Photographers can also explore the depths of space and use their images as inspiration for their own works or to create textured backgrounds for other creative projects.
3. Graphic Design - Graphic designers can use the varied colors and intricate textures of deep space art as inspiration for new designs, such as posters or album covers.
