PROFILE


“Wild Spring: A Conversation with Barry Yusufu”
Flaunt Magazine, September 2022

“As I spoke to Barry, I decided that I was right. He is a person of spring. He evolves on his own terms and stubbornly shrugs off the expectations thrown at him as an artist. “When you look at my works, you're going to see that there is an infinite process. There is never a place in time.” It’s the tragedy of a flower. The language of his art is vibrant and paradoxical, all bathed in wild color.

“I feel what makes a painting complete is the reference to the past, present, and the future,” he said and smiled, “and a little bit of a dream.”
