Barrie J Davies' Artworld at Conclave Brighton
For his solo show at CONCLAVE BRIGHTON (basement space) Barrie will be showcasing a series of affordable paintings, mixed media and print works, and launching of his new limited-edition book “Barrie J Davies is an Artist”. Opening night 11th of Oct at 5pm
His artwork is an exotic cocktail of graffiti, street, graphic and pop art. He graduated from the Southampton Institute with a Fine Art degree in 2000 and completed his Master’s Degree at the University of Wales Institute, Cardiff in 2004. He now lives and works in sunny Brighton where he works from his studio in the wonderful Brighton Lanes.
His artwork is inspired by social media, graffiti, consumerism, pop culture and the urban life in which he lives. The materials he uses to make his artwork are a mix of acrylic, household paints, spray paint, glitter, screen printing, markers, and mixed media collages of comic books, digital prints and found objects.
His street-art inspired subversive pop-art works are a fun, colourful psychedelic and humorous approach exposing the human condition: notions of success, money, glamour, love, death, sex, gender and religion are picked at with dry, comedic use of tragedy meshed with absurdity.
His work is in many public and private collections worldwide (and is also owned by Noel Fielding and Norman Cook, aka Fatboy Slim!)
