Career


Early work and influences

Bar began drawing as a child, making caricatures of his teachers at school. His childhood neighbour made sculptures out of spare farm machinery; he later recalled how it showed him that 'you could take something and make it into something radically different, just by composition. That is the basis of all my work now.' His first notable portrait in the style for which he would later become recognised was made as a teenager; whilst taking refuge in a bomb shelter during the 1990-91 Gulf War, he noticed a similarity in appearance between a radioactivity symbol in a newspaper he was reading and the face of the then

celebrations, he created an innovative print cutting machine that members of the public could use to create their own personalised artworks using Bar's designs. The size of a human adult, the imposing, dog-shaped machine was hugely popular, with people queuing to make a cut-out print with a wide variety of materials that they chose to bring along. In 2013, he took the successful concepts from ''Cut It Out'' further, developing a whole new project and exhibition in 2013, called ''Cut the Conflict,'' in which people affected by wars around the world were invited to send in materials to be printed with Bar's designs based on motifs of peace. These cut-outs were then combined to make works that contained only materials from two countries in conflict with one another, making ''Cut the Conflict'' a celebrated project which has personally stood out for Bar. By 2011, Bar was receiving industry recognition for his work, collecting awards from, amongst others, the Cannes Lions and
