Queensland artist Clinton Barker makes his Sydney debut with an exhibition New Light: Painting and prints.

The official opening is on 14 July, 5pm to 8pm with speaker Basil Hall of Basil Hall Editions. All welcome.

Clinton Barker is an established award-winning professional artist who has shown many times in Queensland and northern NSW galleries.

His involvement in art began in his early childhood when he was taught printmaking skills by his grandmother.

He now works principally in oils on canvas but his interest continues in printmaking as a discrete form of expression.

Clinton Barker describes his work as semi-abstract figurative representation.

He says, “I do however believe that my work delivers a message to the viewer, and that’s where it takes on its value as a way of communicating.”
