Bob Barker

Inspired by childhood memories of days at the fairground, Bob Barker delves into the youthful fantasy of riding away on a carousel horse. A dream come true for many children, Barker depicts the carousel horses coming to life and galloping into the woodland. Exploring the concept of freedom, ‘No Ties’ shows the horses finally released from their restraints and able to live like wild animals.

First created for his wife, Barker previously painted a carousel scene in his well-loved piece, ‘A Ride on the Wild Side’. Reflecting on his art career and his milestone anniversary with Castle Fine Art, Barker chose to revisit this favourite image, adding a new twist.

“When I paint,it’s almost as if this northern light pours from my brush onto the canvas. It transforms everything it touches,from the cobbled streets to the terraced houses,mills and back alleyways.”

The artist

Bob Barker

Inspired by the Yorkshire mill towns that shaped his youth, Bob is known for his 'Northern Impressionism' style. Depicting touching childhood, family and romantic scenes, his nostalgic artworks feature a neutral palette of greys and browns with splashes of vibrant colour and a unique inner glow created by the manipulation of light and shadow.
