About the Item

Rock Pooling is inspired by wonderful memories of searching for creatures in my youth. This artwork elicits a moody atmosphere the light sinking behind the horizon. The gold leaf mirrors the low setting sun light which is mirrored on the sand and rock pools. The depth is exposed though the process of layering and heavy texturing. Barry Wilson lives in East Sussex, England working full time as an artist. He has exhibited in major museums and galleries world wide, with international acclaim, winner of the celebrated Saatchi award 2012. Shortlisted for Discerning Eye 2023. Acrylic paint, Gold Leaf, Oil Paint, Spray Paint on Canvas Sold framed Image size: Height: 80cm (31.50 in) Width: 80cm (31.50 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.
