Misfit Army

Paintings, drawings and Sculpture

In her fifth exhibition with Gallery 60SIX, Leigh Barbier presents her series “Misfit Army.” In this body of work, Barbier’s narrative landscapes continue in their excavation of the female form and psyche. Her work, in large scale drawings and small ceramic sculpture, explores a theme of female communities providing an alternate world which gives physical form to the artist’s emotional experience, from a perspective that combines humor with a hyper-focused female intuition.

paintings, drawings, sculpture, fine art quilts

Leigh Barbier presents new work in her third show at 60SIX. Inspired by her work in the movie world along with her fondness of religious art, muralists of the Mexican Revolution, and lingering 60’s Disney imagery, she creates an “other world” in her art called “Mushroomville.” It is an all-female community in a physically spare yet emotionally rich countryside, where women go to escape or transform. The Mushroom as a metaphor for life’s duplicitous nature provides Barbier (or the viewer) with a world in which to explore diverse subjects.
