Lincoln Bust (Original, Acrylic on handcrafted canvas)

Lincoln Bust, 1991

Painted in Ventura, this portrait distorts and elongates Lincoln's features, merging realism with expressive abstraction. Barrett works with a muted palette and subtle surface textures on handcrafted canvas, transforming the familiar icon through restrained but deliberate distortion. Created during a period when he returned frequently to historical and cultural figures, reinterpreting them through his own visual language.
