Just a few more days to catch this impressive exhibition in Great Yarmouth by artist Darren Barker. Skipping’s Gallery at 133 King Street, Great Yarmouth, is a 17C listed building that Darren, in his role as managing director with the Great Yarmouth Preservation Trust, has rescued and rejuvenated as a gallery with associated accommodation.
In his other role, as a trained artist, he has had exhibitions both here and also recently with John Kiki in the National Gallery, Sophia in Bulgaria. Deeply influenced by the German expressionists and in particular Max Beckman, Barker has a similar set of recurring motifs culled both from his imagination and from his own past such as the ubiquitous mackerel and pike from childhood fishing trips with his father. These are ambitious, disturbing and vivid canvases and the whole exhibition brings to life the gallery he helped to create.
