| Barrie J Davies | |

Born In Milford Haven Pembrokeshire Wales, 1977 |
| About the Artist | |
The work of Barrie J Davies stems from his interest in reality and perceptions of reality, he is interested in the use of irony and hyperbole and in using materials, objects and processes in which to explore these ideas. His work hovers between something, nothing and everything. Humour also plays a large part in the production of the work, turning the world inside out to reposition the viewer. Through this use of entertainment he manages to question the whole notion of what we look for in art and also the liminal space of the art gallery. The current work takes place in Drawing, Painting, sculpture, Performance Art, Installation, Film, Video, Sound, Mail Art, Internet art, Photography and Interventionist projects. Also curating art exhibitions, designing T-shirts and furniture, deejaying and writing poetry. |
