Jeremy Barlow’s travels have taken him further than ever before, due to becoming the recipient of a fellowship granted by the San Ei Gen Foundation, an institution set up to foster cultural exchange in the arts between the UK and Japan. This prestigious award allowed him to spend time studying and painting in Japan.
His visual exploration of this unfamiliar landscape and ancient culture steps beyond the sun-dappled Venetian balconies and busy boulevard cafés of provincial French villages and reconfirms a delight in painting atmospheric and evocative scenes, reminiscent of one’s own experiences abroad.
This exhibition takes us on an international journey through Japan, Norfolk, France and Italy. From the awe inspiring Mount Fuji and tranquil gardens of Kyoto we return home to Jeremy’s native Norfolk where he captures so well the inherent nature of the East Anglian landscape. Past the bustling cafés of Provence bathed in the warmth of the Mediterranean sun, through shaded cobbled streets we are finally transported to the glorious canals and bridges of Venice.
Barlow has exhibited at the Royal Academy, the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour, the Royal Society of British Marine Artists and is represented in public, private and corporate collections worldwide. He is an elected member of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters (ROI) and became a council member in 1995.
