John Barnier

John Barnier is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

John Barnier’s 1989 photograph Aphrodite frames the goddess against warm studio light, her marble curves set off by a plain backdrop. The shot belongs to the quiet tradition of figure studies that kept the human form central even as photography grew more abstract. If you like the way light and surface meet here, tap into the same calm space with Barnier’s later print Echo.
