David’s paintings have been featured four times in the summer exhibition at London’s prestigious Royal Academy.

One of David’s portrait paintings was also exhibited at the Royal Society of portrait Painters.

NORTHERN SOUL

David Barrows portfolio of work and vision of Northern Soul culture has won him world wide acclaim. Likened to Dickins with London times and like Lowry’s mill scenes, he has created a unique atmospheric vibe of then and now, which is stamped on our hearts. Proclaimed by the Observer as the Degas of Northern Soul, they are sure the best is yet to come.
