Born in South Africa in 1949 and raised
and educated in Zambia
in Central Africa.
Barry now lives in Cape Town, near to the slopes of Table Mountain.
He spent two years at the East London School of Art followed by
a further
year at the Johannesburg School of Art.
His works, of limited additions are sought after by collectors
who identify
with conservation, wildlife, African ethnic themes
and the vanishing cultures
of Southern Africa..
He works in oils, acrylic paintings and bronze. His style of painting
and sculpting is best described as representational.
His main medium for sculpting is bronze, which is the most difficult
and time consuming but does not delegate any of the work except for the
foundry process. He believes this a delicate and complicated process,
which should only be done by suitably skilled and qualified people with
the best equipment available
He has participated in many group exhibitions at the Crake Gallery
in
Norwood and also at the Everard Reed Gallery in Cape Town.
Other galleries that carry his work are the David Thorpe
Fine Art Gallery
in Plettenberg Bay, The Cape Gallery in Cape Town
and St Johns Art Gallery
in Douglas on the Isle of Man.
Barry's work can be seen in boardrooms and reception areas
of companies,
homes and game lodges all over the world.
