Artist Alvaro Barrington: Painting Slowed Me Down

“Every colour is a universe.” A studio visit at Alvaro Barrington in London – one of the brightest shining stars in the art world right now. ”When I stand in front of a painting, it acts like a play, I'm watching a person performing, but they are not there. And that's really exciting for me. It just fits my temperament. I could sit eight hours in front of a painting.” In this personal portrait, Barrington tells about his personal roots, growing up between the Caribbean and New York, and his artistic beginnings.
