Love At First Sight

A hand-varnished giclée on canvas by Bob Barker.

This dark and atmospheric artwork by Bob Barker explores a light and humorous theme. Across the cobbled street, two boys admire a girl with a chopper bike. Is it love at first sight of her or her iconic bike? Either way, the sweet and light-hearted piece epitomises Bob’s beautiful portrayal of industrial settings and artworks with double meanings.

Celebrating Bob’s 15 years as an artist with us, this artwork forms part of his important 2022 collection From Yesterday to Here.
