Thomas Barron is a founding member of the KCAT art studio. He has exhibited work internationally and extensively in Ireland. 

 Thomas has spent many years honing his ever evolving method for creating beautifully composed and colourful abstract paintings. Thomas begins each work by drawing with pencil before laying down thick layers of acrylic beside and over each other in a way that brings each work through multiple colourful and dramatic variations and (re)visions. As his paintings develop, some convey a sense of large building facades with multiple windows while others invoke ariel views of multi-coloured landscapes. Each painting emerges as distinct. As with powerful abstract works generally, each offers the potential to open to what the viewer needs them to be, and the possibilities are endless. Within Thomas’ work, a remarkable equilibrium between formal elements is sought and maintained. It is as though his paintings speak to potential inner states in which balance is possible and peace prevails, even momentarily.
