Automotive Action Painting 2006

George Barber

Observed from an overhead camera, a man stops by the roadside one morning and empties the contents of a number of large cans of paint over the tarmac. As the light rises, along with the level of traffic, the cars spread the paint along the surface of the road, creating an abstract smear of vibrant colour.

Automotive Action Painting

One of the pioneering figures of video art in the UK, George Barber quickly established an international following with his Eighties scratch video works, fast-moving, multi-layered pieces, distinguished by their vibrant colour, engaging humour and sophisticated sound and image manipulation. In the early Nineties, Barber's work shifted in a more low-tech direction, and also showcased his talent as a writer; a facility for language that has been seen to typically creative effect in radio and print, via documentaries for Radio 4 and contributions to The Independent's Saturday magazine.
