Barrie J Davies, Jul 21, 2008:
The work of Barrie J Davies ranges from the use of various media playing with meanings, images, actions, processes, objects and texts to create possible new fictions and reality to reassess the world and space around us through the guise of language and displacement.

Barrie J Davies was born in Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire, Wales, uk on the 10th of september 1977. He has graduated from Southampton institute with a fine art degree in 2000 and completed his masters Degree in fine art in 2004. Barrie J Davies' artwork has taken many forms such as painting, drawing, sculpture, print making, installation, mail art, video, film, performance artwork, events, music, internet artwork, blogs and other conceptually designed products such as T -- Shirts, badges, golf balls, mouse mats and baseball caps.

The museum of nothingness is also an ongoing work.
His fun colourful painting work contain word and text jokes, riddles and secret messages of fun, humour and irony set to entertain and baffle the viewer to explore possible new truths and fake realities. His cheap bic biro on paper drawings are a joy to look at and are fast and hasty grabbing a funny idea in putting it down in the fast whit of a stand up comedian.
