About The Artist
After receiving his B.F.A. in film from UCLA, Chicago-born
Barry Kite spent the next five years traveling
overseas. Returning to the San Francisco Bay area,
he wrote and performed his own style of surreal poetry
in local coffee houses. Renewing his interest in
collage, he combined photographic and hand-coloring
techniques to create the foundation of his current
work.
The exclusive use and alteration of found imagery is a natural
extension of found poetry and the basis for what he considers
his visual poems.
Barry Kite's style of social and political parody via
the "re-positioning" of art historical and
contemporary media imagery has won him several art competition
awards and placed his work in numerous private and corporate
collections.
Under his studio name, Aberrant Art, Barry Kite's
work can be found on an extensive line of note cards
and greeting cards. Calendars and two books of his work
have been published by Pomegranate Publications, Rohnert
Park, CA.
