Arne Barker Art

Wiltshire based artist, Arne enjoys painting landscapes but not exclusively, often incorporating bright colours and light into his work, leading to some pleasing semi-abstract art works. Working in either acrylics or oils, Arne can be seen taking inspiration from the wonderful Nordic artists, such as Nikolai Astrup and Edvard Munch.
Arne’s artwork has been admired and collected at numerous one-man exhibitions in the South West.
Feel free to contact Arne for commissions, prints or purchase, enjoy…

Rudloe to Bath, acrylic on 12" x 10" canvas board.
