Dale Devereux Barker is an artist working across a variety of media and scale. He is particularly well known for his use of lino and this exhibition showcases the depth of knowledge and unique approach in using this material combining a celebration of colour and form with warmly engaging subject matter. The events of everyday life are transformed into colourful images loaded with humour and feeling. Objects about the home, mealtimes, figures in interiors or engaged in daily activity all take on a new life through his very personal imagery.
Dale studied at Loughborough, Leicester, and at the Slade School of Art and has gone on to lecture in printmaking and creative practice. He was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers in 1996 and has exhibited widely in London, throughout Britain and abroad. He now lives and works in Suffolk.
