“It is down an indirect path that Raphael Barratt Guides us. Looking at the work of the Renaissance masters, she picks out some easily overlooked element - the line created by the out-flung arm of a saint, for instance - and discovers it in an echo of the branch of a tree, stretching pale and slender into the air’s stillness. Eliding the two, her works hovering in the hinterland between abstraction and the figurative. She makes atmosphere, rather than something more literally physical, her subject.”
Rachel Campbell-Johnston - Art critic for The Times.
