West Country Galleries Welcomes On Board Artist Gordon Barker



Artist Gordon Barker

Gordon Barker was born in Gibraltar in 1960. He is a self taught artist whose work can be found in many private collections including prestigious commission for MTV Europe and The Gap. His distinctive and unique style has captured international recognition.

Gordon Barker paints landscapes, by the seaside, on a golf course, all intrinsically familiar yet are imagined settings. His work is packed with stark vivid colours with small daubs of paint that form people and balloons in the densely populated scape.

Last year Gordon completed his work on two pictures for the Birmingham Children's Hospital.

Gordon has recently been working hard putting together the text for 3 out of 4 books he has created.  By the beginning of July 2011, they will be on their way to his publisher.  We will let everyone know as soon as they are in print!

Gordon lives and works in Wollaston, Northamptonshire.
