| Anthony Barrow |

Born in 1956 in Wigan I served an apprenticeship at British Leyland after leaving school, it was the right thing to do in those days. Art had always been more of a hobby until at the age of 46, with the support of my wife and children, I accepted redundancy and completed a fine art degree at UCLan.
I am now a lecturer for Wigan and Leigh College and professional artist.
These paintings are an interpretation of my existance in a modern culture.

| About the Artist |
Mass visual information is an accepted part of our day-to-day existence. Television, video, film and advertisements have become our emotional fix; the characters take us on a fictitious journey that affects our psyche in different ways.
“The context within which we experience an event will determined how that event is encoded and retained.”
(Oxford Companion to the Mind. - Richard L Gregory. -1987)
The media, with its appropriation of painted images from the past masters, has created a specific genre that provokes an audience into a stereotypical form of interpretation.
My work is concerned with the re-introduction of these images as paintings in a contemporary context, enhancing their ambiguity and giving them a true physical presence.
