BARRY HILTON

Barry Hilton was born in 1941 in Manchester.

Whilst having no formal training, he moved to Cornwall in 1979 where the experience of working alongside a group of extremely active artists helped in the development of his artistic abilities.

This is the story of continuing development. He was once told that ‘selling and success are synonymous’ and should this be true then he could certainly be called successful.

His love of nostalgia which he captures in his paintings of Gas Light Street and Marine Scenes are much sought after and is well represented in the private galleries throughout the U.K.

However, Barry refuses to be stereotyped and has recently had considerable success with beach scenes and still life, painted in a very modern style.

He was one of our original artists when we opened in 1993.
