British Art
Artist: David Barnes
Painting: Lighthouse at Bardsey
David Barnes paintings are highly textural. He uses a palette knife, painting in oils and using a thick impasto technique to produce bold strokes that add strength and texture to his paintings, giving it a sculptured feel. This painting style adds to the contrast between colour, light and shade in David Barnes'' work and the power of the natural elements on Bardsey.
The inspiration for much of David Barnes art work are the mountains of Snowdonia and the coastline of north Wales and Anglesey. As well as painting the dark brooding colours of the north Wales landscape. His paintings are influenced by Welsh artists Sir Kyffin Williams, Gwilym Prichard and Wynne Jenkins.
Bardsey Island, Ynys Enlli in Welsh, lies off the north coast of Wales, near the Lleyn peninsula. It is known as ''The Island of 20,000 saints'', there is a celtic cross there to commemorate the saints believed to have been buried there. Bardsey lighthouse stands at the southerly tip of the island and guides vessels passing through the dangerous currents of St George''s Channel and the Irish Sea.
