Barry Thompson

British artist Barry Thompson's makes intricate and densely worked pencil drawings that depict images of idyllic landscapes. Although composed from personal memories of a childhood hideaway in suburban Essex, the scenes are somewhat generic, and act as visual triggers for the romantic ideals we all project on the natural world.

Barry Thompson lives and works in London. Recent exhibitions include: Salon Nouveau, Engholm Engelhorn Galerie, Vienna (2007), To forgotten faces and faded loves, Rachmaninoff's (2006), Into the Light of Things, Angel Row Gallery, Nottingham (2006), Jerusalem, Dean Clough, Halifax (2006), For Peel, No More Grey Gallery, London (2006), Finkish Dispositions, Rachmaninoff's, London (2005).
