Two works: i) Bikes Up Knives Down; ii) Claw Skyline
2019
Barry Reigate transforms salvaged wooden doors into richly layered surfaces, combining enamel and household paint with collaged varnished paper, pen, coloured pencil, and oil pastel to build up densely atmospheric compositions. The two works, *Bikes Up Knives Down* and *Claw Skyline*, carry the energy of street culture and urban mythology, their titles hinting at coded gestures of community and defiance. Reigate's intuitive mark-making and accumulation of humble, everyday materials give the pieces a raw, textural vitality that blurs the boundary between painting, drawing, and found-object sculpture.
