ABOUT LARRY BABB

Born in Tulsa in 1943, Babb graduated from Central High School and attended the University of Tulsa to study Sculpture, Painting, Ceramics, and Art History. He went on to focus on bas-relief with J. Raymond Warren and painting with Virgina Jarboe Rodecker. Classified as an Impressionist, some of Babb’s works are realistic and others are non-objective. Colors and textures include watercolor, oils, acrylics, bas-reliefs, and Marbolite. Figure paintings are done in a technique called Scafito Scratch which Babb developed himself in the 1970’s. The Marbolite and Scrafito Scratch resulted in Babb’s listing in the Smithsonian. Babb has shown and is collected in many private and public collections in the United States, as well as in Japan, South Africa, and Australia. For more information, visit www.babbestatefineart.com
