Details

Lithe graceful dancers perform the Marinera dance in this vivid sculpture by John Barrow. "It's part of my 'Folklore' series inspired by this beautiful country and its regional traditions," says Barrow with admiration. Originating from northern Peru, the Marinera recreates the sea of emotions surrounding flirtation, attraction and falling in love. It can be danced individually or in couples, and performers hold handkerchiefs in sign of peace. Barrow works with hand-carved segments of cedar, mahogany and ishpingo woods, which he dyes with natural pigments.

“Makes me smile”

John Barrow is one of my very favorite living artists, and I have collected quite a few of his pieces. When I opened this package, I was greeted by this jaunty fellows delightful grin. The light-hearted sculpture is a departure from Barrows other work. It is shiny and whimsical and so much fun. I purchased it on a whim, but it has quickly found Its way into my heart.
