BARNABY BARFORD
WE ARE WHERE WE ARE
1–30 May 2026
David Gill Gallery is pleased to announce We Are Where We Are, the latest exhibition by British artist Barnaby Barford.
“What now? Each day seems to outdo the last. What felt unthinkable yesterday barely registers.” Barnaby Barford
Spanning 35 ceramic sculptures and several large-scale drawings, the exhibition brings together a body of work exploring how we are coping a quarter of the way through the 21st century – a time marked by psychological overload, acceleration and a pervasive sense of inertia.
Barford uses found porcelain figurines which he decapitates and reconfigures, assembling sprawling scenes that echo the moral panoramas of artists such as Pieter Brueghel the Elder, Hieronymus Bosch and William Hogarth. Darkly comic, the works bring humour and absurdity to today’s volatility.
