For David Barnes, art is the best way to express oneself. The means to explore, investigate and consider the world.
His work has always explored the different layers and patterns behind everyday reality. Everything is a construction of different parts and elements. The visual world has underlying structures and patterns that combine to give us a perception of reality. His art seeks to reflect the connections and layers.
Much of David Barnes' work involves creating a collage. The act of cutting through a sheet of material reveals a window to another layer underneath. His work tries to create a sense of surface pattern, letting the eye wander across the picture plane, as well as creating a sense of depth and space receding behind the surface.
