Glenn Barr print from Pressure Printing

Our friends at the fantastic fine art publisher Pressure Printing issued this stunning limited edition of 50 prints by underground master painter Glenn Barr. I think Barr does a wonderful job feeding his his 1960s pop/pulp influences into a very contemporary and fresh style. For more, I highly recommend the Barr monograph published by Last Gasp a few years ago, titled "Haunted Paradise: The Art of Glenn Barr

Haunted Paradise: The Art of Glenn Barr." The new Pressure Printing edition, titled "Evening," has a 23" x 11" image on 30" x 18.5" paper. There are 50 available at $395 each. More details at the Pressure Printing blog.

I get an Eva Gabor vibe from the woman for some reason. It almost seems like a scene from Green Acres.

  You’re right! This work obviously depicts the terrible abusive relationship she endured before being whisked away to the paradise of Green Acres.

“It won’t be some stranger in an alley with a coat hanger. I’ve sold some of my wife’s jewelry and I’ve made you an appointment at the finest clinic. Darling, it has to be this way.”

I enjoy Barr’s work as much as the next neo-pulp art fan, but this image strikes me as an odd selection. It’s well executed but unlike his best works it seems less like a stand-alone image than a random frame in a movie or comic book.
