ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS WORK



“While I find it hard to talk about my work definitively, in a big-picture way I consider them a kind of ode to Humanism. Of late they are choral by compulsion. I wish to celebrate the fact that super vulnerable humankind has managed to set up order after order in the midst of natural chaos. A fragile order, sometimes furious, or mad,  that gloriously defeats entropy for a while. By rubbing against each other in a not comfortable or pleasing way, we spark.”

Barbara Neill was born in Sydney, Australia in 1953 and has spent most of her adult life living and working in relative obscurity in Barcelona, Spain. She describes herself as an art school dropout, university dropout and self taught.
