Pierre-Emmanuel Rome, professionally known as Barnabe or Barnabé, is a French painter based in France. He works in fine arts media and is known for paintings that border on pop art, hard-edge painting, and also surrealism.[1][2][3]

Biography[edit]

Barnabe has been working on his art since he was a child. He was a keen participant in many artistic workshops, museum tours, and art exhibitions as a child. The theme he selected to work on in the year of his bachelor's degree in Applied Arts was contamination and proliferation in Art.[4][5]

Barnabe in his early career developed a graphic process using three parallel lines and started a movement of contamination and accumulation.[6] By penetrating the urban environment of Nice with his ghost, Barnabe took the first step in his evolution by entering the world of illicit street art. After relocating to Paris in 2015, he began a period of propaganda in the shape of posters across the French city, with the goal of contaminating society through art.[7][8] And very quickly, BARNABE found himself on the walls of various large cities in France or abroad … It is in 2020 that he realized his first commissioned wall in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. Two years later in 2022, BARNABE started again the exercise on a 16 meter wall in Dubai. Freely inspired by our time, Barnabe proposes a universe that reflects society.

Artistic style[edit]

Barnabe has deconstructed his emblematic characters, as well as images, throughout his career while continuing the tradition of pop art, mixing art history and popular culture. His works consist of 60% aerosol spray, 20% acrylic paint, and 20% black acrylic ink.[9] The Barnabes were born in France in the bubbling mind of Pierre-Emmanuel Rome. They are small ghostly beings. The Barnabes are free and they are determined to stay free! Unstoppable, they spread quickly creating a mass effect. Always between confrontation and humor, they are not always equal and overflow with ideas and ingenuity to stand out. Today, they want even more, by throwing themselves on this colorful universe full of surprises.

Amazed to discover a whole new world, the Barnabes have no intention of stopping there. The Barnabes, have unique distinctive features in their eyes, their mouths and their various accessories. These yellow, blue or pink characters are full of ideas to stand out. Although there are an infinite number of Barnabes, they all have a similar physiology, a simple and recognizable shape becoming a strong visual identity.[10]
