Gallery Barrington LTD.

Barrington Watson is Jamaica’s master painter.  Striking combinations of form and colour that radiate with energy. Whatever his subject, be it landscape or the human form, he executes his work with great skill.

The recipient of several awards from many countries, he is recognised for his mastery of technique, depth of feeling and originality of vision.  He is the author of Shades of Grey, a collection of autobiographical stories illustrated with his own paintings.  The “Pan-Africans” portfolio, comprising forty four paintings, took him four years to complete.

The National Gallery of Jamaica

NatGallery200x200
The island's largest gallery has 18 sub-galleries arranged over 25,000 square feet of floor space. The gallery was first established in November 1974 at Devon House, Kingston's most famous Great House, but after eight years, it was transferred to its present location in the Kingston Mall. There are eight permanent exhibitions, including a pre-20th-century collection of historical artifacts that can be traced back to before the 1400s. There is also an international collection containing works from various countries.

This gallery has perhaps the largest collection of Jamaican art and much of that is on permanent view. The NAJ mounts several exhibitions a year, with two recurrent ones, the National Biennial and the annual National Visual Arts Exhibition and Competition
