'I told you this was a good spot' by Barnaby Barford, 2011, on show as part of 'Love is...' at David Gill Galleries in London Photography by Noah Da Costa

在一个被损坏的童话故事的故事中，一个由电影中的人物扮演的爱情故事-陶艺大师Barnaby Barford在伦敦大卫·吉尔画廊的新展览《爱是……》中回到了更加神秘的境界。色情、狂欢和公开的猥亵暴露可能不是你所期望的古朴的瓷器人物，但他从来都不是一个逃避工作中堕落的人。在他以前令人讨厌的演员中，我们有酗酒者、持枪者和Mickey Mouse。

欲望是短暂的，罪恶的，自私的，有时是残忍的。我想，越来越多的人把爱的感觉和欲望的感情混为一谈。骑在整洁的白瓷底座上，有一对求爱的情侣，他们的耳语并不是你所期望的那样甜蜜，然后有一个戴着头罩的年轻人涉水穿过一堆花花公子，问我：“你还指望我怎么学呢？”这些作品可能会让人震惊，但是，像往常一样，巴福德以很好的智慧和敏锐的审美眼光来处理他的主题。
