Cole Barrett, in the studio, 2010
Cole is a traditionalist draftsman and painter whose objective is to make art that is something rather than art that is about something; to depict the subject rather than refer to it. He works primarily in ink and watercolour on a range of surfaces from wood to unsized xuan paper, depicting figurative, floral, and faunal subjects. Working first and foremost by direct observation and secondarily with an Imaginative Realism approach to depicting that which does not exist, in accordance with the Secular Humanist Artist Manifesto, Cole's intention is to record, entertain, conceptualise and edify through selective recreations of aspects of reality via the use of comprehensible representational visual language.
