The guest for this episode is Barry Reigate. Barry is predominantly a painter, but also makes sculptures. There are various themes explored including desire and horror. He combines Graphic Design techniques with looser and more expressionistic styles, encompassing a range of Modern Art and Cartoon motives mashed up in to one image, which are sometimes presented on three metre canvases.

Reigate has been quoted as saying, “the cartoons are about death, the death of our exhausted visual culture. Cartoons are used because they have already been used, used to death. It plays with notions of freedom, in regards to an ideal of creativity. My work is dealing with structures and systems in regard to play and progress”

Reigate’s work has been shown at the Tate Britain, Saatchi Gallery, Art Gallery of South Australia as well as many more notable institutes around the world.
