Tiffany Barber

I am a contemporary figurative artist based in Brighton. Born in Scotland I was raised as an athlete but always strived to be a painter. The disciplined nature of my upbringing is reflecting in the meticulously detailed artworks I create. Spending four years at Edinburgh College of Art and a period at the Hungarian University of Fine Art, my fascination for classical architecture and sculpture strengthened.
The fascination for the grandiosity of renaissance art contrasting with banal everyday life has been the propeller for the oil paintings in my recent painting series. Fusing classism with contemporary in order to provoke a dialogue concerning current social or political issues. My paintings build a bridge between the old and the new.
The Sculptures in my paintings are meticulously chosen subject to their concepts, mythology or tableaux to sympathise with contemporary issues.
I am continuing to create oil paintings in relation to the ever-changing experiences the world is faced with.
