Welcome back Ken Barker…

It’s always such a pleasure when you cross paths again with someone you haven’t seen for years!! We are delighted to welcome back Ken Barker with his new body of work into the gallery after a decade of being apart.

Ken is an artist who creates rich textures using collage and acrylic paints on both paper and canvas. In his earlier years Ken was one of Australia’s leading textile designers before becoming a full time artist in the nineties

“For me art is both a visual and a spiritual experience. My art reflects life with its basic structure, interrupted by the unexpected and spontaneous happenings of life. I am interested in textures and surfaces of weather beaten walls with peeling paint, and graffiti. These walls are silent witnesses of the past and canvases for the future.”

We invite you to explore and enjoy Ken’s new works at the gallery…
