“Kevin Barrett’s formal impulse carries a Neo-Modernist orientation to sculpture. It is an impulse that not only projects a deeply felt expressive content, but also carries a carefully hewn visual language.
His shapes are complexly configured in three-dimensional space through the formal application of alternating thrusts and counter-thrusts that function as a means toward rhythmic unity.
Barrett’s remarkable capacity to employ diversity within unity, and vice versa, has always been one of the artist’s strengths. Barrett’s forms reveal an insight into how nature can be transfigured through a deeply-felt aesthetic insight.”
