About the Item

Cornish Light captures the time of the setting sun at low tide on a favourite part of the Cornish coast. Gold leaf reflecting the natural colours from cloud cover. Layering and texturing of painting mediums build up the depth witnessed, creating a magical quality. Barry Wilson lives in East Sussex, England. He has exhibited in major museums and galleries world wide with international acclaim, winner of the celebrated Saatchi award in 2012. Shortlisted for Discerning Eye 2023.

Barry Wilson is a member of NAPA and trained at the Camberwell School of Art and was taught by influential artists such as Bruce Mclean, Cornelia Parker, Jock Mcfadden and Ian Mckeever. Before becoming a full time artist I worked in film and television changing scenery and fronting a changing rooms style tv programme called Room Raiders as an interior designer, my love of paint finishes and gold leaf lead to my obsession with gold and the techniques that it can be applied to it. The fragility of beauty... The aim of my paintings has been to emulate a faint image in an antique mirror or a creased and much faded photo. I believe the delicate, fragile beauty of gold leaf and the fresh, translucent quality of oil paint belies the somewhat brutal techniques I employ. These include using industrial spray guns, scouring pads and water jets, scrubbing back the layers of paint to reveal the gold leaf base which seems to give the structure / framework of the painting. I believe the result is a vibrant and edgy captured moment; contemporary and beautiful.
