A collection of paintings by renowned artist Barrington Tabb are going under the hammer.
Tabb, from South Gloucestershire, who passed away in 2022, had a distinctive style due to an eye condition that caused blurring of his central vision.
"Sometimes it can improve my paintings very, very much, due to this distortion," he told the BBC in an interview in 2006. "I don't want my work to look like a camera took it. I want to give vent to the distortion as well as the emotion."
His unique style earned him a loyal following, with collectors including David Bowie and Bryan Ferry. The paintings will be auctioned at Clevedon Salerooms.
Known for his textured, expressive oil paintings capturing Bristol's streets, docks, and daily life, Barrington Tabb devoted more than four decades to chronicling the spirit of the city.
