Cameo Anderson
Dropping you a line to say your artwork is very awesome. I'm writing a report on your work for my digital image manipulation class. :) If I weren't a serious wimp I would have asked for an interview :) Awesome job. -Your new fan.

Barry Mack's paintings resonate with my deepest Soul-knowings, and consciously-move heart and mind to heights and depths previously UNknown...The more each is contemplated, the more comes forth to be seen and spiritually-REmembered....Thank you, Barry, for Being all you came here for to Be....Your new and ancient Friend, T.R.

Kara Maltby
Hey Uncle Barry! I searched your name on the internet and some pictures of you and your paintings came up! How cool is that?!! I love you! Love, Kara

JoDean Davies
I was introduced to the joy of Barry's work several years ago. I'm thrilled that his inspirational gift of light is reaching around the world. Not surprising, his work continues now, as then, to touch me on an inner level too deep for verbal expression. Thank you Barry.--JoDean Davies

Barry - I love the paintings. Doorway is absolute mystical genius! It's open.......and it's open for me. I don't have to play with the shadows any more! Something happened to me when I looked into The Doorway. I walked right through that door. All a sudden these dark shackles just fell off me. I literally went from almost tears to laughter. The light that poured out of the art was absolute truth. There is a power in your work that moves me deeply because the interpretations are from the inside out. I can hear the title, look and my spirit flies inside.--Diana

Phil Sargent
I love what Diana had to say.As the anointing gets more powerful on your paintings there will be those who ask you why the pictures affect them the way they do. Are you ready to answer that question?

Ted Knerr
Thank you for deeply connecting us all to the universal spirit that helped you create this stunning display of virtuosity and amazing fecundity! There's something masterful in the body of your work that is thrilling and awe inspiring. Right on!

I want you to know that your art is so strong and powerfull that can reach unknown places and minds, so far in distance but so close in feelings. Someone that can do such things can consider it self as a great artist.

Kendra Key
Good website - keep up the good work

Phil Erickson
Barry's efforts are breathtakingly beautiful. Anyone thinking of investing in art should take a long look at what he is producing at the moment. I encouraged an East Coast artist who had similar talents and she is now selling out all of her shows and her artwork's value is rising rapidly. Not only would you have a beautiful piece of Barry's artwork to enjoy but a wonderful invest for the future.Phil Erickson

Richard Brooke
Your body of work keeps getting more and more in terms of growth, and in terms of qualty. I enjoyed the new works, Barry, and I'd encourage you to keep going!My best,

A spiritual journey is what your work transfers to the psyche of all, the emotion and the depth speaks in volumes. A visual delight once viewed, leaves the imprint forever.

Dr. Joshua Golding
Barry, your artwork is not only pleasant to look at, but spiritually uplifting as well. All the images are appealing at first glance. But the more you study it, the more you find in it to behold. A rare combination of geometric elegance and spiritual depth!

Rich Allison
Barry, you have such a wide range of visions. Each of your pieces reflects an emotion your were feeling when they were created. Obviously I like your use of light, especially when combined with the mountains and pyramids. The viewer flows between the present & the future, but can never reach either destination. Good job. I hope to see a lot more of your work.

Patricia Cori - Italy
Awakening looks like TERRA FORMING to me!!!Mamma mia! It is all so breathtaking, so ‘familiar’ so GALACTIC!!I am deeply moved and excited at the same time – how wonderful to channel through this expression...the art form. I truly am completely awed by the depth of your vision, the incredible energy that pours from the canvas...I celebrate your gift and it is clearly a memory – either of the future or the past – there is no difference, in the end.

Sam Krotinger
True art bursts forth like an explosion from our unconscious. Barry's interest in the Superconscious and abstract renderings of Jungian archetypes brings unfettered originality and boldness to his diverse and beautifully conceived explorations in mixed media. His work is fresh and free from the shackles of redundancy, his explorations within shine brilliantly with beauty and versatility.

Elaine
WOW! All I could think of is Going Home. Breathtakingly beeeuuutiful! I wish there were more spiritual places & people I could see & meet. But I journey there in my heart and mind; thanks to people like yourself that share such beauty on theirwebsites. They are all so beautiful and say so much about you the painter. To me it reflects the brilliance of your soul; the divinity within you, bursting through and expressing itself through your paintings.

Valerie Allison
As a small child I would watch over your shoulder as you created things that I couldnt even imagine. Even then I wondered where it came from. It was clear then and even more now that you have a spiritual gift and purpose here. I have always felt calmed and supported in life by your gentle loving spirit and now feel blessed to see others able to enjoy your gifts and talents. It's pure joy gazing into your creations of heart and soul. Val Allison

On Fire seems truly appropriate right now, well, because you are on fire. I like this direction in your new works a lot! I love the intensity! On Fire is very graphic and easy to grasp. It has a feeling, at least for me, best described as “immediate”, kind of like great heat felt from real fire – you feel it now – bammo – in your face. I like that... no holes barred - just out there. It’s appropriately named too. Personally, I think that more people will really relate to this new direction.

Astrid Fitzgerald
Barry, your work is beautiful, spiritual and very accomplished artistically - all at the same time. It's a real challenge, I've found, to convey concepts and emotions of a higher nature and have the work remain artistically strong and unsentimental. You have succeeded!

Larry Hales
Barry! It has been an absolute pleasure to be your friend and watch your art grow over the years. I am constantly amazed by your art every time I see it. Some of your pieces I’ve seen countless times but see something different every time I look at it. Art moves people in many different ways. Your pieces move people in ways that most art can’t. I am looking forward to your upcoming show. All the best, Larry Hales

Leah Kando
I have two of Barry's paintings...I picked them not only for their beauty, but for the way they make me feel. Looking into his works puts me at peace, in a world that seems to always want to do the opposite to people! Barry's personality is reflected in his art, and it's readily apparent that this artist views the world's light through a beautiful, peaceful lens.Every day, I enjoy a slice of what it must be to see as he does. His works attracted me immediately, as I love his play between darkness and light.

Janet L. Thomas
Barry, It is always a pleasure to help you with your portfolio here at absolutearts.com. I always enjoy seeing your work, you have some truely wonderful pieces! I simply love the Ancient Light Series and they way you use Yellow! Janet

Since early human history, the visual image continues to be one of our most powerful forms of expression. Barry Mack's art images convey a power of abstraction that welcomes one into space. His breadth of subtle colors combined with strong geometric shapes invoke space within the mind as well as vast space of the universe. His images beckon and capture our attention to explore this space. Barry has the knowledge of traditional painting, photography and computer art. The computer as an art tool is much like that of photography in the nineteenth century. Photography was initially ignored as an art form but endured and has gained full acceptance. Many artists are now using the computer to create their artistic vision. Barry's art shows his expertise in all these media. This presents an encompassing view of a truly multi-talented artist.Emily L. YoungProfessor Emerita, Visual Arts Portland State University

Beautiful, evocative work. Thank you so much for creating and sharing it.

Tyler
Hi Uncle Bary! I am hoping you another painting soon! Good luck! Love ya! Tyler

Anastasya
Thank you for being generous with your resources... I hope that you will receive more than you need for your time and energy. Keep at work!

Sarah S.
It's so huge. The art that you make, the effort that goes into it. The goal I guess. It's something really really big. Whether you ever made a piece of art in your life... your intention and your ideas are inspiring in themselves. Your will to create is enormous. And that doesn't just say something about you and your ambition, which I find to be so motivating... it says something about what else is out there. What else is making up this universe, this reality... and even more than this reality. I am incredibly happy that you do this. That this is all part of you. Knowing you feels very very lucky.

Lynette Sahnow
Just read the article by Richard Speer. He's amazing! He really capture in words your work . WOW! My compliments! Lynette

I do not include art picks in my investment advice, but if I were to do so, Barry Mack's work would be at the top of my list! I highly recommend that you become familiar with his extraordinary portfolio of abstract paintings, as I believe time is running out to scoop the art world on this gifted artist. Barry paints not only with acrylics, but with light. Light for Barry is a medium in itself. In person, each canvas is like several living paintings in one, as the light picks up and reflects nuances of color and energy in the surrounding space. I don't feel as though I am simply viewing a painting, but rather that I am part of the living, creative energy that animates his images. Somehow Barry captures that light energy while keeping it alive in and on the canvas--truly amazing.
