Andrew Barton - Babyface epoxy

Et lite babyface i epoxy av Andrew Barton. Dette er en epoxy versjon av de keramikkansiktene som er i bruk på de mindre Bombsuit Baby-verkene. Ca 10 cm bred og 9 cm høy. Kan henges på vegg.

Born in London, England 1970.

He studied at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts (KHIO), from 1991-1996 and has since also been a guest teacher there.

Male fertility, non-loving sex, violence and cannibalism were reoccurring themes in Barton`s work from the end of the 90`s.

Barton`s work then took a new direction focusing on the torso or body fragment in combination with a foreign object or abstract shape, dealing with bodily transformations and meditative states of being.

His recent work deals with industrial products from dystopian futures; space helmets designed for religious expansion in space, and bomb suits tailored for the mundane acts of shopping and child`s play in a future society gone bad.

Barton has exhibited several larger collections of his works abroad and in Norway. His works are represented in private and corporate collections in Norway and abroad.
