Barrow Wake
£1,500.00
notes
Barrow Wake by Rupert Aker is an expressive oil on canvas that evokes the expansive energy of the Cotswold escarpment above Birdlip. Painted en plein air, the composition sweeps across ochre fields and cool valleys under a breeze-stirred sky, with Aker’s distinctive palette-knife technique bringing movement and immediacy to every stroke. This piece would lend vibrancy to a study, stairwell or garden room—especially suited to collectors drawn to the drama of Gloucestershire’s natural contours.

Insights
Using oil paints and palette knives to create impressionist-style paintings, Aker works directly from nature ‘en plein air’ wherever possible, specifically during his walks through Cotswold towns and landscapes. Larger paintings are then finished off in his studio, cleverly coined ‘The Loovre’ due to the location being a conversion of an old public toilet.
Artist
Rupert is a landscape painter, based in Painswick. His aim is to hold regular pop-up exhibitions in locations throughout the Cotswolds, presenting his art in the landscape that inspired them. Often selling paintings straight off the easel, Aker thrives off the notion of people purchasing freshly produced works of art as they would buy a freshly cut bouquet of flowers.
