Noj Barker paints dots, millions upon millions of dots. His world explores the relationship between the telescope and the microscope and he paints with a magnetic pull towards the surface and beyond. A new world is revealed as he compels you to look deeper, like stargazing, providing an hallucinogenic matrix of chroma and pattern. Some works are restrained, almost sonata like in form, others blaze the retina with a symphony of colour. It is an hypnotic meditation which invites you to step back and then forward again to look once more. Having dived deep into the minutiae of his painting, his work is then transformed when scanned and magnified, and transferred on to new mediums. Nojs work is now becoming recognised and even worn as a brand, primarily via an Instagram theatrical stage set inspired by his family and friends. His work is profound, vibrant, joyous and witty.
