Hilary Barry

Kessingland, Suffolk
I was born in Wales, lived and worked in London and moved to Suffolk in 2016. I completed MA in Fine Art in 2006 and am now a full-time practising painter, who has exhibited widely and taken part in m

My paintings are inclined to be about the inner and outer world, and my mind often focusses on recollections of the past and I am haunted still by some of the images I have seen on TV and social media. My language is painting, there is something primal about it. In my latest work the mark making has become more spontaneous, there is no initial drawing, although I usually return to a painting and repaint, building up the marks with more layers of glazes or paint. The layering in the painting is about memory, life and painting time.
