Barry Regan has practiced at Creative Growth’s Studio since 2002, working primarily on paper and assemblage wood sculpture. Regan’s densely inhabited color fields are an endless negotiation with the fundamental qualities of circles and negative space. Their relationships are evocative of Yayoi Kusama’s "Infinity Net" series, although it is unlikely that Barry has ever seen the artist’s work. Repeated circles flow in and around each other, swelling and shrinking to create immersive waves of movement and color. At times ordered, and others visually cacophonous, his compositions are vibrant, rhythmic, organic, and topographic.
