About the Item

Like a reflection in an antique mirror or a much loved photograph, creased and faded, Barry Wilson's latest paintings have a delicate, fragile beauty that belie the brutality of the techniques he uses. Industrial spray guns, scouring pads and water jets combine with traditional approaches and his trademark gold leaf. The result, a captured moment, vibrant, edgy and contemporary yet exquisitely beautiful. Inspired by the coast and early morning golden sun breaking through the clouds. Additional information: Gold Leaf, Oil on Canvas 80 H x 100 W x 4 D cm (31.50 x 39.37 x 1.57 in) Sold unframed Image size: Height: 80cm (31.50 in) Width: 100cm (39.37 in) Complete size of unframed painting Height: 80cm (31.50 in) Width: 100cm (39.37 in) Depth: 4cm (1.57 in) Artist biography: Barry Wilson, artist, has original artworks for sale with Wychwood Art in their art gallery and online. 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
