Memento Mori
In a time when infant mortality was commonplace, photos were often taken of the deceased to honour their memory. Blinded by her grief, she delivers all to ashes and escapes ultimately and knowingly toward her own demise.

- Today's print is Aurora's Figaro 22/25 - $365NZD + Postage

Struggle for dominance is legend. The play once initiated invariably becomes a battle of wits and guile. Handled well, she accrues a willing steed to entertain her whim and fancy. Overstep the mark however, the beast will bolt thundering to his place of sanctuary where only the promise of sugar treats will lure him slack back and broken.

Promise & Prayer
Settlers came to this new land of promises and plenty. They were pointed in the direction of their pre-paid plot of land and left to their own devices. With little or no support in place and very little employment, many felt disgruntled and disillusioned about their new situation and of what kind of future lay ahead.

In conjunction with the opening of my new show 'Overflow', I'm releasing a brand new limited edition of only 30 prints of my painting:-

'Turning Tide'
This thing I do, brings me joy, a thing I’ve always done,
were I to stop, my head would drop, a flower void of sun.
I won't be swayed, nor set apart, my place to sit is here.
And I for one, will carry on, will carry on, no fear.

An Ordinary Gesture
90 x 90cm, Oil on Belgian Linen, 2021

Too many cases of unfamiliar faces encroach on my very existence. The confusion sets in, the veil drawn too thin, I can offer little resistance. Am I drowning or waving on this floodwater paving, is my mind coming asunder. If this is the end and I’m going round the bend then please just let me go under.

Currently showing in 'Overflow' Webb's Wellington.

Surface Tension
90 x 90cm, Oil on Linen, 2023

I'm waiting for something, I know not what, I'll know it when I see it. Could be a barrel, a boat, a dog with a dry coat, a house on stilts to live in. But the biggest need, the waters recede of all this fluid retention. Until then I'll stay in utter dismay, breaking the surface tension.

Currently showing at Webb’s Wellington NZ. barr.art

No Signal
100 x 81cm, Oil on Linen bonded ACM, 2022

Will the data still flow if the flood waters grow taking bites from all that has been. If I stand in this spot, with my arm in the air and my tongue licking salt from the screen. All the science dowloaded, cleverly eroded and greenwashed away by the slew. The emphatic array of erratic displays will not change my point of view, that amongst all the haptics and political gymnastics the problem is still CO2.barr.art

Currently showing in my show ‘Overflow’ at Webb’s Wellington.

All At Sea
100 x 82cm, Oil on Linen bonded ACM, 2022

At 5am when the Earth starts to yawn and the birds sing praise in a song. I stand here and think through this softening ink that one day all this could be gone. Though I’m lucky in health, I suffer for wealth but I have what I need to survive. So be grateful my friends for all that you have, just be happy that you’re still alive.

Swan Song

81 x 61cm, Oil on Linen bonded ACM, 2023

Inexplicable events are commonplace, move on. We pick up the shattered scrambled mess, move on. I knew them once before, they moved on. They came to stay, were in the way, wishing them move on. A candid slice of someones life, a bitter exposē, like sentimental hangers on with nothing left to say, move on, move on, move on.barr.art

With only the install to do, the excitement is building to the launch of my latest show - 'Overflow'. I look forward to seeing you all there on Wednesday at 6pm.

Land of Little Luxury
This land of little luxury, this house, my home, my prison, has worked me to the bone. Youth came and went, the silver shone, here I sit alone. Rocking Rolley, looking fine, no child did ever ride, for I became the rocking horse, reined in well before time.

Just had Night Owl framed for a client in white and teak. Looking sweet!

'Night Owl'
Stolen as the night, dancing shoes on ice, left on this marble shelf, my buds will need suffice.

Hello wonderful people. I have a selection of newly framed limited edition prints on offer should you wish the ease of having a ready framed item sent directly from me to your wall. It's a first in scenario so don't dilly.
Unframed items also available should you prefer to frame yourselves. (sorry about the dodgy phone pics with my reflections in them) https://liambarr.co.nz/prints.html
