BARRY MCCARTHY

A professional artist for the past four decades, Barry McCarthy has produced a unique body of paintings reflecting his personal passion for Canada and follows a solid tradition of representational painting. In the beginning he developed an outstanding watercolour technique to convey soft, impressionistic light. In his current work, McCarthy has turned to oil painting where he has been able to adopt and refine the light and transparency that make his watercolours so memorable. McCarthy’s work transforms the common object, ordinary person, or familiar landscape with colour, light, and texture to engage the viewer. We recognize the subject, but more than viewing it, we experience the moment in time that impels the viewer’s mind to thoughts of human history.

Barry McCarthy was born in Deep River, Ontario in 1951 and received his BFA Honours degree at the University of Guelph in 1975. Notably, recent public gallery solo exhibitions at the Burlington Art Centre and Wellington County Museum in Ontario have showcased McCarthy's body of work.
