Glenn Barr was raised in a Midwest working-class environment that ingrained in him a strong work ethic and an affection for B movies, local music, and trash culture. He graduated from Detroit's College for Creative Studies and went on to establish himself in the art world, exhibiting in Los Angeles, New York, Rome, London, and Australia. Barr's work is embraced worldwide. Juxtapoz says his work "exude[s] the sensuality and tension found in pulp art or film noir," and HiFructose says it demonstrates a "unique style that combines cheesy glamour with scenes based in modern reality."
