The paintings of Barry Masteller look to be just the same as all the other paintings at the gallery, and the PR is just as nonsensical. Take it away, PR:
Barry Masteller interprets light and shadow with both expertise and enthusiasm. His painterly style requires nearly transparent applications of pigment, creating a surface in which light seemingly emanates from within the canvas. Although his paintings are expressionistic, they also at times exhibit subtle nuances of the surreal. His compositions evoke a warm beauty that is utterly contemporary.
I do not know where to start, so I will only say that warm beauty is not utterly contemporary.
