Rob Dean in conversation with Ivan Barnett about his new collection In the Garden & Beyond the Sky

Ivan Barnett, creative director of Patina Gallery in Santa Fe, opens In the Garden & Beyond the Sky on Friday, May 12, 2017. Barnett combines abstract shapes with the representational forms of the people, plants and animals that might move around the garden. As he has for 40 years, Barnett returns to his favorite materials, thin-gauged oxidized steel and a narrow range of primary colors.
