Barford will be exhibiting new works alongside a new ambitious piece and his largest piece to date. The Battle of Trafalgar installation reflects Barford's twisted version of Trafalgar square. In it's centre a Lion looking a great deal sadder than the ones in the real Trafalgar Square - it has been covered in graffiti. Each corner of the piece has columns with cherubs on top, which are covered in pigeons and bird shit. The rest of the piece comprises of 22 individual pieces, each a vignette of contemporary life. The saccharine figurines have been transformed from chocolate box, romantic images of life into a new, jarring narrative. Drink, Violence, Consumerism, Junk food, Protest and Terrorism all inhabit this new world. Added tension is given to the piece in the form of a loan sports bag, entitled unattended luggage. This is the first time Barford has attempted such a big scene and introduces concrete into his aesthetic.
David Gill Galleries exhibits new work by artist Barnaby Barford, to compliment his acclaimed film, Damaged Goods. In February 2010 David Gill will exhibit nine new works by Barnaby Barford which have been made in correlation with his ambitious animated film, Damaged Goods.
