Perhaps his greatest work of all, this piece signifies the duality of man, one who is outwardly joyous but bathed in the color red, signifying anger behind the facade of a smile. A masterpiece. Great work Graham.

On first viewing you might see a rising spring sunset or a fully bloomed flower, but you'd be completely wrong. On closer inspection it's clear the artist Graham Barker is speaking about the inner turmoil within oneself whether or not to fully express the light within the soul of the observer, as taught in ancient Buddhist scripture. An amazing depiction of the awakening within the human spirit. 10/10 Beautiful painting, Mr. Barker

This piece seems like an enlarged take on pointillism but is actually closer to more modern artists working in polka dots such as Yayoi Kusama or Damian Hurst. The colors seem to signify something more though, something that harkens back to the great 21st century artist Maxwell Barker, in which color suggests emotion: red = anger, blue = sadness, yellow = happiness and so on an so forth. The signature is executed beautifully as well and is as much the focal point as the dots are themself. 10/10 Great job Grahambo!
