INTRODUCING BARTON ⁠
⁠
Meet Barton Hargreaves an artist and printmaker whose diverse practice has developed simultaneously with the technological developments within digital print.

Barton makes indoor and outdoor installations and fine art prints using digital technology and more traditional processes such as etching and screen print, often mixing them up together.

Recent projects include ‘Sentinels’ a series of etchings of the Dartmoor hawthorn and ‘Glitch’ a series of charcoal screen prints of an abandoned market garden.

His work is often (though not always) monochrome and ‘Time’ is a constant theme running through the work. He gained an MA from the Royal College of Art and spent 11 years working as the digital print tutor at the Royal Academy Schools before relocating to the South West. He currently splits his time between teaching on the Extended BA at Arts University Plymouth and his studio at Ocean Studios.
