Artist Biography
Originally from Columbus Ohio, Barczak is currently earning a BFA from Ball State University and has also studied at Columbus College of Art and Design and Fort Hayes Professional Center's Commercial Art program. A digital photographer who works with various and untraditional mediums, Barczak's work deals with dreamlike surreal circumstances and has a blase attitude towards fantastical subjects. Periodically, Nothing Happens features ten photographic portraits which transform models into characters representing elements of the periodic table.
The show also features ten works featuring 'nones.' "A 'none' is everybody and nobody all in the same place. When I tell you of these people, you know who they are, but on another note you can't say that you remember seeing them," Barczak says. "Faceless, nameless nobodies that are more like you than you can know, but there isn't the time to find out."
