Barrett specialises in mixed media paintings, using acrylics and oil pastels on paintings that range from symbolism to landscapes and portraits. He creates texture, perspective, and sculptural effects by using acrylic paints mixed with an extra heavy medium gel applied with a palette knife and finished with a layer of oil pastel. His work is vivid, colourful and expressionistic.
This exhibition focuses on his modern interpretations of Eastern European religious iconography. Viewers will experience traditional religious imagery in a new light, and (re)connect with the spiritual aspect and values symbolised by pivotal Biblical events.
St Andrew’s is usually open: Sat 9am-12.30pm; Sun 9.30am-12 noon; Mon 2-3.45pm; Tue 1-4.30pm; Wed 10am-12 noon; Fri 10am-1pm. See https://wickfordandrunwellparish.org.uk/whats-on.html for more information.
