Keep Cosmic trigger happy (50cm x 60cm) mixed media on canvas

Game Love (50cm x 60cm) mixed media on canvas

Artist: Barrie J Davies

 

The artwork is a chaotic and playful visual explosion using found and invented imagery explores humour, subversion, the absurd, escapism, the far fetched and generally the silly side of life. 

These paintings shout at you to from another world where things and situations have melted into each other.  The work which is selected for you comes from a new hyperworld influenced by the internet, 24 hour shopping, trashy magazines, kitsch obsessions, bootleg songs, dayglo fashion, dubstep beats all fused together in a mishmash of styles desperate to get to you and with no barriers of taste. 

 

Barrie J Davies has been a practicing artist for over ten years has had up to Seventeen solo exhibitions and been in over hundred and seven group exhibitions worldwide. Barrie’s work uses a fun provocative and humorous style to expose the human condition: notions of success, money, glamour, love, death, sexuality, gender and religion are picked at with dry comedic use of tragedy meshed with absurdity.
