About Red Barn Green Field
This pop art painting of a red barn was created by Charles Pachter.For Canadian pop artist Charles Pachter, the barn is one of three beloved images that symbolize his national pride. This vibrant red barn with its classic, clean lines stands out against the backdrop of a brilliant blue sky and contrasts with the swatch of a green field in the foreground.
Pachter has embraced the image of the barn as a reminder of Canada’s early rural history; a nod to the strength and industriousness of the farming communities that helped shape his country. The Toronto-based artist’s work is often compared to famous painters David Hockney, Andy Warhol and Jim Dine. Charles Pachter’s charming imagery however, is distinctly his own.
“….I came to appreciate this gregarious, talented man’s art. In the painted passages, a profoundly rich, poetic, visual mind is exposed for the curious and imaginative viewer to enter and explore.” Tom Smart, writer, art museum curator
