Philip Barraclough

“it’s a matter of fine lines”

 

Philip Barraclough is a North Yorkshire artist who uses fine pencil lines as the basis for images of the human form and landscapes, which can often take on a life and rhythm of their own. He uses other media such as charcoal, ink, watercolour and collage sparingly.

 

His inspiration comes from photographs of the human form and the landscapes of northern England where he can often be found rough camping (with complete consideration for all aspects of nature–I might add)

 

He is self taught if an O level in art doesn’t count and a few lessons while taking A levels. He exhibited infrequently in London in the 1990s including at the Mall Galleries.
