Joe Barrow

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.
