Just Chips by Bob Barker

Seeing the beauty and attractiveness in what other people may see as monotonous and a depressing surrounding is the essential uniqueness in what makes Barker's style stand alone.

Barker grew up at a time when northern England was crammed with factories and pollution, however reverting back to nostalgia enabled this fantastic addition to be painted onto canvas.

By Bob Barker's own admission he usually initiates his image by painting the sky, this then creates the overall dramatic mood. However what is particularly endearing about this piece is that the sombre mood of the sky, doesn't dampen the joyful spirits of the children who are partaking in a game of football. This is a perfect representation of children all over the United Kingdom today, no matter the weather, enjoying a sporting game of football with your friends is key to brightening up even the dullest of days!
