Clinton Barker

Working with oil on canvas and printmaking, Clinton Barker’s style is semi-abstract figurative representation. His work stems from an artistic passion as a young child and spurred on his self-taught practice. Influenced by abstract expressionism and primitive art, Barker’s practice takes on a “spontaneous freedom” driven by emotion and life experience that connects artist and viewer. Barker has been awarded the Impress Printmakers Inaugural Print Prize and the Easel Painting Award at the Art on Show Awards, as well as a finalist in the Martin Hansen Memorial Art Awards.
