Barry Shuchter Painter - Cambridge, MA
Barry Shuchter was born in Newark, NJ in 1956. Today, he resides in Massachusetts. In the interim, he has produced hundreds of paintings and thousands of drawings. He has worked at dozens of jobs, ranging from baking bread in a factory, to operating a drying machine in a woolen mill, to smelting lead, to washing dishes, to working with computers. He has consumed hundreds of pizzas. As Shuchter says, "Every act of creation involves an act of digestion."      Shuchter's paintings often depict moments of his experience that would otherwise be invisible: an identity conflict regarding poverty and wealth… what wind looks like blowing through the branches of a tree… the meditation of washing dishes… the mutual influence of adjoining plants… deciding whether to stay inside and write or follow the path outdoors… the effect of an over-hanging branch on the river below.      Whether the subject is a living being or an inanimate object, Shuchter's paintings are stylized expressions of the play between his inner and outer realities.
