Roger Barnard (born 1944) is a British painter, educator and author. He was one of thirteen artists included in The New Generation: 1966 at the Whitechapel Gallery in London, where his work was discussed by the art critic Robert Hughes.[1] He exhibited again in New Generation 1968: Interim at the Whitechapel Gallery, where his work was noted by The Sunday Telegraph art critic Edwin Mullins.[2] Barnard moved to Japan in 1975 and has lived and worked there since.[3]
Early life and education
[edit]Barnard studied at the Central School of Art and Design in London (now Central Saint Martins) from 1962 to 1966, graduating with an honours degree in Fine Art.[4]
Career
[edit]Britain
[edit]In 1966 Barnard exhibited in Young Britain at B. Altman & Co. in New York and in The New Generation: 1966 at the Whitechapel Gallery in London.[4][1] Barnard's painting Towards (1966) was included in the Whitechapel exhibition. In his contribution to the exhibition catalogue, Robert Hughes discussed Barnard's use of complementary colour and the optical effects produced by his paintings.[1] Barnard also exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, Oxford (now Modern Art Oxford) in 1966.[4] In 1968 he was included in New Generation 1968: Interim at the Whitechapel Gallery.[5] The exhibition was held from 25 April to 26 May 1968.[6] Reviewing the exhibition in The Sunday Telegraph, Edwin Mullins named Barnard, John Hoyland and Mark Lancaster among the artists "for whom my respect grows".[2] Barnard's painting Towards subsequently entered the University of Warwick Art Collection.[7] The work was included in Imagining a University: Fifty Years of the University of Warwick Art Collection at the Mead Gallery, Warwick Arts Centre, in 2015.[4]
Japan
[edit]Barnard moved to Japan in 1975.[3] He continued to paint while also working in education. In 2014 Gallery 58 in Ginza, Tokyo, presented an exhibition of fourteen of his acrylic paintings. Tokyo Art Beat described the works as combining landscapes, memories and visual fragments from Japan and the United Kingdom.[3] A further solo exhibition, Roger Barnard: Paintings 2016–2020, was held at Gallery Q in Tokyo in 2020.[4]
Teaching and writing
[edit]Alongside his work as a painter, Barnard worked in English-language education in Japan. He obtained the Royal Society of Arts Diploma in English as a Foreign Language in 1977 and an MA in Applied Linguistics from the University of Surrey in 1996.[4] From 1996 to 2014 he was Professor of English at Tama Art University in Tokyo.[4] Barnard has written and co-written several English-language teaching textbooks, including Good News, Bad News: News Stories for Listening and Discussion (OUP); Fifty-Fifty (Pearson Education); Business Venture (OUP); and Writing for the Real World (OUP).[8]
