 Barry Simon "Wearthy, Cultural DNA" acrylic and crayon on linen 36 X 36" Barry Simon Rorschach's Kamasutra: An Algorithm of Sex and Gender reception with the artist Sunday July 21, 2-4 pm artist talk at 3 pm Outsider artist and scientist Barry Simon explores the generation of human diversity—in 19 canvases that meticulously symbolize the complex workings of the human limbic system. While some visual influences are Piet Mondrian, Gustave Caillebotte, Wayne Thiebaud, and Hilma af Klint, his paintings come with notes and citations per his scientific background. This new show at garner LARGE runs from July 21 through August 17, 2024. Gallery hours are Thurs-Sat 1-5, and by appointment. Simon writes: Rorschach’s Kamasutra is a presentation of aspects of the brain’s limbic system governed by genetics, developmental environment, reward and punishment, senses and modern-day culture. ...I believe everything human can be viewed as a “spectrum” of nature following the laws of thermodynamics. My choice to explore diversity as An Algorithm of Sex and Gender is based on my experience as a white American male of my age, gender and profession speaking and participating through art with what I know. This narrative is guided by my longstanding background in zoology, anatomy, reproductive veterinary medicine, and drug development. The current day scientific modalities to explore the subject are now astounding. Barry Simon (b. 1950) was born in Cedaredge CO and received his DVM from Colorado State University School of Veterinary Medicine in 1978.
