Born in County Durham, Bob Barron paints in a minimalist, contemplative style. He uses a relatively muted palette to explore concepts such as the passing of time.

With a strong Interest in astronomy, Barron depicts suns, moons and constellations or simple geometric shapes such as circles, squares or triangles. The works often remain abstract, though he is interested in leaving traces of human kind such as a hand or a foot print or, sometimes, objects from the ancient world.
