Barry Mason (British, b.1947) is one of the most accomplished marine artists working in Great Britain today.

 

Born at Seaton in Devon, he spent his formative years studying painting at the Exeter College of Art, before turning to professional maritime painting.

He has exhibited at the Royal Society of Marine Artists in London and has had sell-out solo exhibitions in both London and Stockholm.

 

His subjects include the mighty clipper ships of the 19th century racing on the high seas, naval battles, busy 19th century era scenes of the River Thames and schooners and fishing boats.

 

His work demonstrates superb attention to detail and the atmosphere of a bygone age.

Barry’s work is included in numerous private art collections throughout the world, including Europe, the United States, Australia and New Zealand.
