The
taut and harmonious work of Barry Herem
owes much to the essential forms of Northwest Coast native art. These he has renewed and
extended in what he calls "equal parts invention and assimilation".
His work - symbolic, animistic, organic - has
been created in bronze, cast paper, steel, fabric, aluminum plate, wood and in serigraph print
form. Mr. Herem has completed two 30 foot aluminum plate whale sculptures for the Portland,
Oregon International Airport and a large acrylic sculpture, "Northern Light", for Alaska
Airlines in the Seattle Tacoma airport.
Widely known in the Northwest as a
printmaker, the artist has produced more than 40 limited edition serigraphs, some of which were
featured in Northwest Coast Indian Graphics, Blackman and Hall, University of Washington
Press, 1982.
In 1998 Barry published his first offset
limited editions. He also has 5" x 7" art cards of many of his popular serigraph
designs.
Barry Herem spends his summers exploring the
island seascapes of British Columbia and Southeast Alaska in his sea-going canoe. In addition
he frequently guides a 65 foot schooner, "Crusader", on voyages of adventure through the
same area. |
