P Gerard Barker is represented by the Art Consultancy, West Contemporary. Based in London and Dubai, West Contemporary works with an eclectic mix of artists including sculptors, painters, mixed media artists light art and photographers. It was founded by Liam West FRSA (Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts), leading founder of Goldsmiths Centre for Contemporary Art and who has worked in the art world for 20 years.
In partnership with Tom Kerridge, West Contemporary has presented a dynamic new art space into the heart of the restaurant Kerridge’s Bar & Grill in the Corinthia Hotel. The aim is to make art more accessible to people.
This aim has firmly put an emphasis on The Best of British Magazine and the fusion of food and art created in London. The collaboration is pioneering the movement of #GastroArt. This movement believes in a new way of collecting contemporary British art placing it in non-gallery environment, moving it into a new arena, where people normally don’t stop to appreciate art. The fusion between art and food takes place not only in the Corinthia Hotel but also in Claridges, The Café Royal, The Royal Albert Hall and the Dubai Opera House.
Other artists on display are: Chris Moon, Beth Cullen Kerridge, Matt Roe, Mark Beattie,Carne Griffiths and Peter Ceredige Evans.
