A Return to Yesterday | 2022
Northern Impressionist Bob Barker returns with more additions to his From Yesterday to Here series reflecting life and love in his beloved Yorkshire, his family, friends and memories. His signature grisaille style of grey monochromes is highlighted with vibrant colour, infusing the images of the northern towns and cities he loves with great warmth, wit and humanity. Pudsey-born Bob now lives in Bradford, and after several careers - butcher, videographer and owner of a media and production house - he can now spend all his time with his first love, painting, and delighting his loyal base of collectors from his 17 years with Castle Fine Art.

Bob Barker
“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.
