P Gerard Barker at West Contemporary

About

He belongs to the currently topical sector of photographers employing old-school cameras, smartphones and apps to create stunning images and has an incredible eye for composition and atmosphere, with all of his works encouraging the viewer to look just a little longer. His inspiration comes from cityscapes and trips abroad to the everyday visuals you might see or walk past such as a motorbike in the street or a washing machine in a launderette.  

The works the photographer has on display at the The West Contemporary art space are inspired by a day spent with Tom and his team in his first restaurant (The Hand and Flowers) in Marlow, The Shed and The Butcher’s Tap and taking shots both in the kitchen and the surrounding areas in the quaint town of  Marlow.
