Izzy Barber’s paintings are full of rhythmic geometric allusions to New York City's moods and architecture, moving between abstract and figurative styles. She is a plein air painter, someone who paints outside the studio, and often returns to the same street corners to work. Her bold and atmospheric style also conveys a surprising intimacy, offering observations of daily life, movement, light and color.
