Barnaby Wills has been developing a technical and critical
approach to Fine Art being influenced by his environment and the world
around him. His work engages with the viewer in a very immediate sense
and is both influenced and critical of our popular culture and its
pervasiveness. He uses painting, collage, text and drawing to
communicate his unique message. He draws from elements of graphic design
to play with techniques of appropriation and the balance between word
and image.
His more recent work attempts to
re-contextualise his subjects by placing them within an alternative
background to what they may usually be found in. This back-drop
stimulates the eyes with its interconnected shapes hinting at the urban
environment and the fluidity of the natural world. The works take
influences from history, popular culture, philosophy, globalisation,
graphic media, and travel.
His works are often brightly coloured, aesthetically spontaneous and always have an initial impact on the viewer.
Barnaby Wills studied Fine Arts in Bristol at the University of the West of England from 2002 until 2005.
