"I envisioned a character that was a fixture in an old Hamtramck neighborhood bar. I think we all know someone like that… a little tragic, a peripheral friend, a party girl, with something dramatic always happening in their lives. This piece was part of the 2012 group show called LYRIC that I had curated. The show was all about songs and their lyrics. I always liked the Velvet Underground song “Lisa Says”, so based on that tune I created the visual equivalent…in my eyes anyway." - Glenn Barr

This RUN comes signed, numbered and with a Certificate of Authenticity from Glenn Barr and 1xRUN.

Glenn Barr's surreal creatures, specters and tragic characters live in a seedy universe, drenched in the grit and haze of a post-apocalyptic urban dreamscape. His Detroit work has been labeled Pop Surrealism, Pop Pluralism, Lowbrow, Regional, Outsider, Ashcan or as he coins the phrase “B Cultural-ism”. Barr finds inspiration in the city streets as well as from pop and counter cultures that infuse a familiarity in his many parallel realities. With a nod to old master painting, pulp art, and cartooning, Barr's paintings are mesmerizing in their narrative complexities and technical depth.
