Barnaby Barford | Love Blue
Barnaby Barford (b. 1977) is a British artist working across sculpture, drawing, installation, film, and ceramics. His practice explores the values, systems, and behaviours embedded in everyday culture, often transforming familiar forms into narrative devices that address consumerism, morality, and desire. Repetition and accumulation are central to his work, from word-based drawings to large-scale sculptural installations where meaning shifts through scale and reiteration. Barford has realised major institutional projects including The Tower of Babel at the Victoria and Albert Museum, a solo exhibition at the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art, and TOPIA, commissioned by Heritage Malta for MUŻA.
His work is held in international public collections including the Victoria and Albert Museum, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (US), the Mint Museum (Charlotte, US), and the National Libraries of the Netherlands and France, and he is represented by David Gill Gallery, London.
