Barry Cawston
Barry Cawston is the recipient of numerous awards, including
the President’s Award at the Royal West of England (RWA)
Open Photography Exhibition. Cawston’s work demonstrates
that, in the hands of an artist of talent, photography can be a
powerfully expressive medium which is able to create art of
great beauty and transmutes the ordinary into the unexpected.
Cawston’s images, whether landscape or cityscape, interior
or figurative, display a fascination with shape, pattern, colour
and texture and, coupled with metaphor and association,
the poetry which these qualities can often suggest. Taken
as a whole, his work seems to express an almost visceral
response to the visual world.
