Gordon Barker

Gordon Barker’s portrayal of the British landscape using colour and humour, not only encourages us to smile and look on the bright side of life, each picture is unique and tells its own story.

Self-taught, Gordon’s greatest inspiration was his art teacher, who gave him all the encouragement needed at an early age to experiment with paint and find his own style. Although concentrating on naïve landscape paintings, from time to time he likes to experiment with abstract art, creating wonderfully vibrant paintings that capture colours and light in a highly imaginative way.

Gordon’s art appeals to young and old, women and men. Children love the colours, playfulness and story behind each picture. Whilst for the rest of the family it is often the nostalgic elements that appeal as well as the storyline. Either way, people clearly love Gordon’s work and he is destined to become one of the greatest and most popular artists of the 21st century.

Collectors have for some time been buying his original paintings with many bought by companies either as an investment or, as Gordon would hope, to lighten their days work. Now, for the first time, Gordon is making his work more widely available through the strictly regulated publication of limited edition prints – each individual one is inspected before being signed by the artist.

“Barely a day goes by without another idea for a new painting coming into my head. My aim is to paint pictures that everyone will enjoy and gain endless pleasure from looking at. I like to tell stories through my painting. I’m thrilled to know that my work will now reach a wider audience and bring more happiness into many peoples lives” says Gordon.
