Matthew Barney

Matthew Barney is a contemporary artist who is most known for his conceptual series, 'The Cremaster Cycle'. Each one of these different cycles portray a different story composed by Barney, along with characters, sculptures, and a setting, all depicted in very high quality photos, along with a synopsis to explain each story. Each of his stories were very eccentric and vivid, and work that definitely highlights performance art. His work at first is rather confusing upon glancing at it, but the characters and stories are all so entrancing that it helped me appreciate the ideas he was trying to portray.
