Kubo lives a quiet, normal life in a small shoreside village until a spirit from the past turns his life upside down by re-igniting an age-old vendetta. This causes all sorts of havoc as gods and monsters chase Kubo who, in order to survive, must locate a magical suit of armor once worn by his late father, a legendary Samurai warrior.

Having lived in Bristol while studying, Barras became one of a new crop of young artists working within Bristol’s world renowned street art scene. He has since exhibited around the world, painting both on walls and in the gallery space. Living and working in London, Barras’ inaugural 2013 show at StolenSpace ‘Bad Reception’ showcased his unique style, and we are excited to see him transform the space again with this new body of work.
What sets Barras’ work aside is his use of movement and unique narrative driven composition and line work. His work holds a kind of energy, as if capturing a brief moment between one manifestation and the next. Holding the line between the abstract and the figurative, his compositions and fluid lines provide poignant detail in liquid abstraction.

The show comprises three bodies of work, ‘Watermark Paintings’, ‘Internet Paintings’ and ‘Reflection Paintings’, each of which explores our relationship with art in the digital age – specifically how we choose to view it using the tools now available to us. Evolving from his ‘Sous Rature’ series, which saw the artist remove elements of existing works in order to give them increased significance – purposefully selecting only those made by renowned painters – Stephenson continues to create ‘forced collaborations‘ as a means of experimenting with our interpretation of imagery.
In Watermark Paintings, Stephenson imposes a branded watermark upon works he has purchased at auction, creating a filter between the viewer and the work itself and highlighting the distance created by this process.
In Reflection Paintings, Stephenson works the viewer and their surroundings into existing, original pieces – drawing attention to the screens that have become integral to how we now all view the world. In doing so, he again explores our relationship with art, making us once removed from it and reminding us of our own existence.
In Internet Paintings, Stephenson recreates well-known works, as seen through platforms such as Google Arts & Culture’s virtual tours. Producing ‘distorted’ versions of the originals, he highlights our capacity to accept and adapt to new technologies – often without realising what is being asked of us, or how this influences the way we look at life.
Through these bodies of work, Stephenson interrogates the effect that the media through which we experience art, change our relationship with it and warp the presumed intentions of the original artist. However, Stephenson’s pieces are not intended as critiques, rather he presents them as collaborative iterations of ever-evolving works of art, believing, as Leonardo Da Vinci once said, “Art is never finished, only abandoned”.
