Personal commissions
Celebrate a family, relationship, memory or meaningful place without relying on a conventional literal portrait.
PERSONAL · CORPORATE · LARGE SCALE
Commission an original work shaped around a person, place, memory, organisation or space — interpreted through Barrie’s distinctive abstract and collage-led approach.
Celebrate a family, relationship, memory or meaningful place without relying on a conventional literal portrait.
Original work for offices, hospitality, events, anniversaries and organisations, developed around the story and environment.
Barrie’s portfolio includes substantial corporate work, making the commission process suitable for statement spaces as well as homes.
HOW IT WORKS
Share the reason for the piece, intended location, approximate dimensions, important imagery or references and preferred timescale.
Barrie considers the story, colour, materials and visual references and agrees the direction and practical scope with you.
The artwork develops through Barrie’s layered, intuitive process. Commission terms and any progress stages are agreed before work begins.
Final collection, delivery or installation arrangements are confirmed according to the scale and destination of the work.
SELECTED CORPORATE EXPERIENCE
