Barry Charlton, Untitled Experiment II: Development of a Sign Process, oil on linen

Welcome

Having received his MA Fine Art in 2007 from the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, Barry Charlton now lives in Liverpool where he continues to develop his artistic practice.  Working in both oil paint and video, his work plays with the conventions of portraiture in order to explore those aspects of human experience that reside beyond empirical explanation.  He has contributed to exhibitions of a national standard including the Wales Portrait Prize, and received a 'Highly Commended' award from The Nationwide Mercury Art Prize, 2006.
