Two works: i) Slime WTF; ii) Figure Snake Door

2019

Barry Reigate transforms discarded wooden doors into raw, energetic canvases, layering enamel and household paint, varnished paper collage, and mixed drawing media to create two works that pulse with spontaneous, street-inflected vitality. Loose, gestural figures and serpentine forms emerge from the accumulated surfaces, suggesting narrative fragments caught between the playful and the unsettling. The humble, found quality of the door supports lends the works a grounded, everyday physicality that anchors their otherwise restless and improvisational visual language.

Medium
each enamel paint, metallic enamel paint, varnished paper collage, household paint, pen, coloured pencil and oil pastel on wooden door with wooden struts
