Dit is een selectie van mijn werk.
Mijn passie voor kunst heb ik ontwikkeld op jonge leeftijd. Het geeft jou de ruimte om helemaal jezelf te zijn en ontdekken wat jou uniek maakt. Daarnaast heeft een rustgevende en helende werking. Ik pas intuïtief schilderen ook toe in mijn trainingen om mensen te leren dichter bij zichzelf te komen.
Ik ben vooral geïnspireerd door mijn vader Richard Lee Barton. Helaas is hij overleden op 69-jarige leeftijd, maar zijn passie, energie en talenten zullen altijd blijven voorbestaan door zijn mooie kleurrijke kunstwerken! Doordat ik goed kan afstemmen op mijn vader's energie kan ik nu samen met hem schilderen wat heel erg helend en bijzonder is.
Een aantal van zijn werken zijn te vinden bij Saatchi Art, maar zijn niet meer te koop:
Daarnaast heeft hij een expositie gehad bij PAN Amsterdam, via galerie Mia Joosten.
Zijn biografie:
Richard Lee Barton was born in Arkansas
(1952) and moved to Belgium when he was nineteen, where he developed an own style in painting. He came in contact with two Flemish masters who gave him lessons for several years: the realist
Louis Jacques Camerlinckx (1920-1989) and the expressionist Staf van Elzen (1915-1987), he took a course at the Academy of Antwerp.
At first he painted impressionistic landscapes, later he developed a more
expressionist style, and also painted abstract flowers and figures. Years later, his work moved towards a more abstract expressionistic direction. After 9/11, he painted only flowers for a time,
creating colorful works on a very positive way. His talent was seen at a very young age, when he was fifteen he won the State Prize of the drawing, an important award.
In Belgium, he founded an art group called "Asikan”. This art group came
together as a reaction to society and was formed by a number of artists who organized exhibitions together, especially in Belgium.
Former President Bill Clinton visited a number of exhibitions of Richard
Lee Barton in Little Rock and HM Queen Beatrix has one of his works in her collection.
The paintings of Richard Lee Barton are very colorful and remain
beautiful, even after years you will see new forms and striking shades. These works have a very unusual appearance, they inspire and give you a good feeling.
The works are very spontaneous and built layer by layer. They are rich in
color and it`s easy to daydream. The quality is strong and expressive. The positive effect of the work cannot easily describe in words, you must see the work in real life.
There were many exhibitions of his work, one of the breakthroughs was the
presence of his work at pAn Amsterdam, an important Dutch art fair. He was represented by Galerie Mia Joosten. Richard Lee Barton was setting a new direction, the work was much lighter and became
more abstract. According to Uri Geller, he is one of the best painters in the field of abstract expressionism.
The Barton landscapes are famous.
Dit is een werk van mijn vader in zijn jongere jaren.
