Barrie J Davies

hello my name is barrie j davies and i'm an artist. my artwork is a an exotic cocktail of graffiti, street, graphic and pop art. i graduated from the southampton institute with a fine art degree in 2000 and i completed my master's degree at the university of wales institute, cardiff in 2004. i now live and work in sunny brighton on the south coast of england where i have a studio in the wonderful brighton lanes. my artwork is inspired by social media, graffiti, consumerism, pop culture and the urban life in which i live. the materials i use to make my artwork are a mix of acrylic, household paints, spray paint, glitter, screen printing, markers, comic books, digital print and found objects. my street art inspired subversive pop art artwork is a fun colourful psychedelic and humorous approach to expose the human condition: notions of success, money, glamour, love, death, sex, gender & religion are picked at with dry comedic use of tragedy meshed with absurdity. my work is in many public
