New for Spring 2017, Northern Light was released to mark Bob's first museum exhibition, opening at Leeds City Museum early this year. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWielding a near monochrome palette that is alive with dark intense shadows and pure white light, allows Barker to create an immense depth within each piece. However, it is not just the light that makes these pieces of artwork stand out, it is the poignancy of the memories it evokes, the nod to day to day living, and the stories that drive this collection. A Yorkshire man born and bred, nostalgia spurs him to paint the early years he remembers with such fondness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e''The echoes of my past become my future paintings.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en-se\/blogs\/posts\/bob-barker-shines-with-northern-light-in-leeds\"\u003eRead more obout Bob's \u003cem\u003eNorthern Light\u003c\/em\u003e exhibition in Leeds. \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bob Barker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56599626940765,"sku":"BBA-SLE-LAN-09707","price":875.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0883\/1906\/6461\/files\/bba-forging-ahead-r2.jpg?v=1745930500"},{"product_id":"bob-barker-every-sometimes-day-1664970971","title":"Every Sometimes Day","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe heart-warming title of this piece stems from a conversation between the artist and his great-granddaughter who remarked that her mother plaited her hair \"Every Sometimes Day\". Inspired by the amusing innocence of this statement, Bob created the above artwork that also referenced an older photograph of his daughter looking out the window. The highly effective and beautiful colour palette that mixes black and white with red accents perfectly captures the iconic red brick Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses that line the towns and cities of the UK (particularly in the North). Light rain is captured through delicate strokes, perfectly shown in this hand-varnished giclée canvas on board.
