About the Artists
Barry Hammond Art is a website which showcases my collection of paintings, as well as, the collection of sculptures of my long time friend and renowned California based artist John Clark.
I have been a visual artist for over fifty years. I hold an Honours Bachelors of Arts degree specializing in Fine Art from the University of Toronto. I also hold a Master of Business Administration degree from York University. I have been a member of the Art Purchase Committee of the Hart House Collection which is the largest private collection of Canadian art in the world.
I first started out as an illustrator strongly influenced by 1960`s artists like Ed Roth, Stanley Mouse, Robert Williams and Don Martin. Later, I formally studied under Vera Frenkel, the renowned Slovak/Canadian visual artist. My other main influences were abstract impressionists and colour field artists such as Mark Rothko and Josef Albers. Besides being a creator of visual art I am also an avid collector of art from around the world.
In addition to my artistic endeavours I was able to also squeeze in a thirty year career in international corporate finance.
I reside in Zürich, Switzerland.
