 Artist and writer Barry Mack is a painter of transcendent experience in its manifold varieties and has pursued this elusive theme since 1988. It was that year when, in the middle of the night‚ and unaided by any psychoactive substances‚ he found himself swept up in a spontaneous rush of creative euphoria, the intensity of which he had never before experienced. After a fleeting immersion, he emerged from the euphoric state, the effects of which lingered for several days. "I've been trying to get it back ever since", the artist says today. "That's why I paint what I paint."Barry's work has been shown in East Coast, Midwest and Northwest galleries as well as Nike World Headquarters, The Palace of Fine Art in San Francisco, and a group show in Australia. His work has been published in several national magazines and won first place in the international Digital Fine Art competition in 1998.
