Appleby-Barr’s paintings juxtapose fantastical and everyday objects, conjuring a dreamlike world which verges on the uncanny. Drawn to the intricate symbolism and aesthetics of old master painting, his masterly use of oil paint creates deeply atmospheric works which transport the viewer into his otherworldly universe. The Canada-born, London-based painter is the first emerging artist to be represented by the gallery. His first solo exhibition at Robilant+Voena will open in London in March 2021.
