Pair of Acrylic Paintings by Gordon Barker
‘The Regatta’ & ‘Celebration at the Harbour’
Gordon was born in Gibraltar in 1960. His father was in the army and the family finally settled in Northamptonshire when Gordon was 12 years old.
Gordon has always had a vivid imagination and from a young age has found art fascinating. It was when he was in secondary school that he was given the encouragement from his art teacher to paint and draw in different ways and to let him develop his own style, although in this days his work was very abstract.
In 1981 he began to paint landscapes for the first time, initially these were mostly sunsets and silhouettes, but he then began to paint pictures with more colours and varying subjects.
In 1983 he sold his first painting to a recording company in Milton Keynes this gave him the confidence to promote his work to a wider market. Over the next few years he sold about 800 originals to companies like MTV Europe, the Gap, and many private collectors.
Gordon prefers bright vivid colours that grab peoples attention
