| What People are saying about Barbara's paintings ... | |
"Barbara approaches her narrative realism work with an eye for color, light, and the intimate atmosphere of urban and private spaces. Intrigued by the relationships that are being played out in these spaces, her painterly style creates mood and atmosphere, and gives the viewer only subtle hints of what the dynamics might be. She has a love of color and enjoys using it to express her passion in life. Passion is everything, isn’t it?" |
|
| - Gregory Stocks, Art Instructor and Painter | |
"Her attention to color is strengthened by her attention to light. Her images glow. Seemingly ordinary objects become heightened to revel an almost otherworldly presence emanating from within them. Her paintings, observational in a respectful yet perceptive way, draw the viewer into the piece emotionally. It is easy to stand in front of her paintings and find yourself engaged with her subject’s relationships, and the spaces surrounding them." |

| "Attic Gallery is proud to represent Barbara Bassett, for her work is credible. By this I mean that I see the derivatives of work by other artists and cannot help but think that if the derivatives were set side by side as is done with anything written it would be plagiarism. Barbara is unique; her work is original, by her own vision, by her own hand. Credible. Who would not be proud to represent this quality"? | |
-Tommer Gonser, Director, Attic Gallery |

"Barbara develops high quality compositions that I believe reflect nature itself. You can sense the passion in the artwork and dedication applied with each stroke. The painting is real and reflects a personality of movement and life. Whether for viewing pleasure in a decorative sense or comforting the soul, the paintings invite you in and are a cheerful reminder of life's natural beauty." |
