About The Artwork
This work is inspired by the notion that we are all strangers. Every day we pass by hundreds of others, yet we know very few. In the capital we are surrounded by others, yet know very few. They approach, brush past and leave us unknown never to be seen again. Travelers on their own trajectories, with their own thoughts and paths going to different destinations. Missed connections and fading blurs, time and distance expands and propels us apart on separate journeys. We avoid eye contact and we move on. This work is produced by the process of automatic drawing. Random movements are transmitted onto canvas and take forms as the picture develops. I have no idea at the start of a painting how it will coalesce and what form it will take.

United Kingdom
Joe Barrow is an emerging figurative artist based in North London whose work explores communication and the limits of language. Within his paintings figures seem unable to speak and must rely on emotions to express their feelings. Joe's pictures are created using a form of automatic painting, they start with random gestural marks which are sketched onto the canvas, and through a process of addition and removal, form into familiar shapes and feelings. Stories and characters develop in an organic dreamlike manner shaping into the final painting. Joe is a graduate of the Art Academy London (Contemporary Portraiture) and he regularly exhibits and sells his work in the capital.
