Barry Thompson: Fistful Of Blood And Feathers

A new series of postcard size paintings and drawings by Barry Thompson, who focuses on the area between Romford and Dagenham in Essex where he grew up. Pastoral scenes – blossoming hawthorn, paths through woods – are interspersed with more ambiguous vignettes of graffitied walls, WWI soldiers and soft porn that create an image of place as an area of sexual, philosophical and psychedelic awakening.
