Barrington Tobin was born in London and trained at Putney School of Art. Prior to working as an artist he was a specialist in early and contemporary music and the tonality of his painting and mark making reflects this. The relationship between painting and music has always fascinated Tobin and he sees great music, architecture, literature and painting as sharing the same vital and spiritual source. As a lifelong collector and custodian of 16th and 17th century vernacular furniture, he feels a living connection between the past and present and through natural materials, which nurtures his creative practice. A strong sense of responsibility and reverence towards the natural world has always guided his creative life, whether that be to ancient trees, birds or to the river which flows through his garden in rural Dorset.
