Raymond Barion

Raymond Barion (born 1946, Valkenburg aan de Geul) is a Dutch artist who lives and works in Antwerp, Belgium. For the past 40 years he has been making art in the form of paintings, sculptures and work on paper.[1]

Biography

Barion studied sculpture at the National Institute for Fine Arts in Antwerp and earned a master's degree in Art History at Ghent University.[2] After he graduated in 1974, he became a professor of contemporary art at the Academy of Art and Design St. Joost in Breda, the Netherlands. Barion worked here until his retirement in 2010.

Alongside his role as a professor, Barion has created numerous drawings, sculptures, and paintings. His paintings are usually very large and created with the airbrush technique. His paintings incorporate multiple spatial perspectives and other architectural elements.[3]

In the 1980s Barion exhibited at the Technical University of Delft, the Technical University of Eindhoven, Freidus/Ordover Gallery in New York and the International Cultural Center in Antwerp. In 2014 he had a solo exhibition at Extra City Kunsthal in Antwerp.[4] His solo exhibition Isometric Landscapes (2016) at Upstream Gallery in Amsterdam received attention in the Dutch media.[5][6][1][3]
