Artist Statement

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.
