Resident Artists’ Showcase in our Gallery

Anthony’s current artistic practice is both studio painting for solo and group exhibitions, and commissioned public artworks, which usually major on the practice of painting. Having spent a decade exploring paintings inspired by the British weather, and isolated locations, Anthony’s current paintings are visual montages that imply details and memories of real places and experiences, but in the themselves are plastic fictions; landscapes we will never visit. 

Barton is an artist and printmaker whose diverse practice has developed simultaneously with the technological developments within digital print. He makes indoor and outdoor installations and fine are prints using digital and more traditional processes such as etching and screen print, often mixing them up together. Barton’s body of work explores nature’s response to a failed human endeavor: “In another way these works are simply the recording of a moment. A fragment of time in both my life and that of the place.”
