Futile Path by Chris Barrow


An oil on board painting titled 'Futile Path' by Chris Barrow. Chris Barrow's naive style provides a modern-day perspective on the monotony of working life. Christopher E Barrow ABNA is a full time artist residing in Lancashire, UK. He previously painted under the pseudonym Nick Webb. Chris has achieved considerable success as an artist with several important Art Galleries displaying his work and significant sales in Fine Art Auctions. He is also an elected member of the Association of British Naive Artists. In his own words "My paintings are depictions of both working class and white colour working men and women. I use pattern and a loose symmetry to humorously comment on the conformity of the working and social life." The painting "Futile Path" is one that I'm particularly pleased with because it sums up the impetus of my work so effectively. The well turned out characters in the painting stride on confidently, assured of their direction. Of course the joke is ultimately on them, as they all take it in turn to end up where they started! This isn't a cynical statement, rather a humorous look at how we can all "go around in circles".
