Barry Natton - Fine Art Sculptor
I am a Fine Art graduate of Liverpool John Moores University (2004) and have a post graduate degree, an MA in Fine Art awarded by Liverpool University (2006).
During my time as a student the focus of my work moved towards producing organic and intuitive architectural forms, exploring the creative and expressive potential of space. Also ‘Notions of Shelter’ which I trust will evoke some of the emotions people experience in relation to architecture and buildings. My ideas stem from my commitment to the built environment and desire to engage the viewer enabling them to release their own creative potential.
My sculpture has often been created using recycled wood, a material I have worked with over many years. I also work in Perspex, steel, stone, glass and latterly bronze. It is of critical importance to me that whatever material I use exploits its natural beauty and colour. I want to create art which is sensual, calming, tactile, and expresses something of the materials own evolution into the piece I am creating, allowing me to express mine as I work.
