The genesis of Mayo’s interest in race-based issues, stems from his being raised during the 60’s, observing the tail end of the Jim Crow era, combined with his experience of integrating a New York City public school in the third grade. He found himself living experientially with one foot in the Black world, and one foot in the White world. Mayo’s investigation has not only provided a means for self-exploration, but a vehicle for the ongoing study of race relations in the United States, viewed from the prism of personal relationships.
Mayo Bio
Barry Mayo's fine-art photographs focus primarily on the natural interplay of light and shadow. In many of Mayo's images, the stark contrast of both his black and white and color imagery highlights his study of social, visual and emotional juxtapositions. Through careful observation, Mayo's work results in something that is formally complex - yet his images deliver a succinct and direct assessment of his surroundings - and the imagined interior life of his subjects. His images explore racial themes, ideas around presence and absence, and cultural dilemmas found in science and faith. In the end, the photographs of Barry Mayo make the experience of the world a newly seen experience for the viewer.
After a successful 35-year career as a broadcasting programming executive, manager, and owner, Barry Mayo began exhibiting his photography in various museums and galleries, including a group exhibition at the prestigious Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art. Mayo has served on the boards of numerous educational institutions including Vice-Chair of the World of Money.org, an organization teaching financial education and philanthropy to young people in the New York City metro area. He has also served as Co-President of the board for the Center for Photography at Woodstock. Mayo currently is a board member of the Reher Center in Kingston and recently joined the Advisory Board of the Dorsky Museum in New Paltz . Mayo is a father and a proud grandfather of three, a rabid Jazz fan, and a circumnavigator who makes his home in Stone Ridge in the magnificent Hudson Valley of New York State.
