Contact House

Oil painting by Brian Barnes titled Contact House, 1976.

The painting depicts a figure in a blue suit standing in front of a rainbow that emerges from two pairs of hands shaking. Around the figure, there is text that reads “CONTACT HOUSE and below there are 5 hands of different colours.” The background is black, and there are additional elements such as a small house on the right side near the figure’s hand, what appears to be a cane or stick in the left hand of the figure and a shadow to the right side of the figure.. The artwork has signatures at the bottom: “BRIAN BARNES © '76 WWW Wandsworth Mural Workshop "
