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

Dawn of a New Day, Moody Landscape Painting, Dartmoor Sky, Abstract Oil Painting
By Sophie Berger
Located in Deddington, GB
A gold-leaf landscape painting by Sophie Berger. This original oil painting on canvas board has the depth and moodiness of a Dartmoor sky as well as the vivid sunshine hiding beneath the clouds. This is captured by the iridescent glory of the gold leaf. When the viewer is moving around the room the reflection on the gold leaf changes the whole painting as it glows and reflects. Based on the ever changing skies in Devon where Sophie lives and works. New original artwork by artist, Sophie Berger is available with Wychwood Art in their gallery and online. Sophie Berger's recent work has been greatly influenced by her move to Devon and a new found love of the Dartmoor. She often sketches on the north moors and in Skaigh woods, taking in the mood of the sky, rolling hills and streams or concentrating on the intricate twisted branches and roots of the bracken. Sophie Berger's next stage is to recapture these sketches using oil paint when back at the studio in Kigbeare, thereby creating a strong connection between her work and the landscape. The changeable, moody landscapes...
