Charlie Barton

Charlie Barton’s powerful paintings emanate a resonance, which gives them a life force of their very own. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that Barton’s work is concerned with the ‘...origin and transfer of energy...’

With a subject matter ranging from the visceral and corporeal human form, through to the planets and the production of magma, Barton’s work holds a consistent thread. This thread of the rejuvenation, recycling and the transformation of energy, has both physical and spiritual connotations.

Using both form and colour, texture and movement Barton’s paintings possess a luminescent quality, which engage the viewer again and again, encouraging one to look deeper. Sometimes swirling and turbulent, sometimes calm and serene, the works reflect elements of the both human phenomena and of the cosmos, with a natural and unbreakable interdependence.
