Jeremy Barlow was born in 1945 at Kettering, Northamptonshire. His first commercial involvement with the art world came at the age of 12 when he sold a watercolour painting to an aunt for half a crown. Jeremy's childhood ambition was to become a cartoonist and he was rarely happy unless doodling with a well-chewed pencil or working with a worn watercolour mop.

Jeremy Barlow studied illustration at Northampton School of Art. He later worked in art studios in London and the Midlands before deciding to become a full-time painter in the early 1970's. His reputation for producing fine contemporary art was quickly established and 5 years after becoming a professional artist Jeremy went to live in Dusseldorf, Germany to concentrate on painting the landscapes and townscapes of Holland, Belgium, Germany, France and Italy. In Germany and Holland his following grew rapidly and his paintings were exhibited in many major European cities in both mixed and one-man art exhibitions.

Jeremy Barlow returned to the UK in 1983. Since then his paintings have been exhibited at the Royal Academy, the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours, the Royal Society of Marine Artists and the Royal Society of British Artists. He was elected an Associate Member of The Royal Institute of Oil Painters in 1990, a full Member of the ROI in 1994 and a council Member in 1995.

Jeremy Barlow still travels extensively in Europe extensively, painting not only the fine cities of Paris, Lyon, Amsterdam, Delft, Venice, Sienna, Cordoba, Seville and Granada but often in the small villages and towns "off the beaten track" to paint and record the more intimate studies of native life. From sun-dappled Venetian balconies to busy boulevard cafés, weathered and intriguing shop fronts to quiet provincial villages, Jeremy Barlow delights and excels in painting wonderfully atmospheric and evocative scenes. A characteristic of Barlow's paintings is the way in which he creates an impressive interaction of light and dark. The strong contrast of deep, rich shadows with pools of bright sunlight, so familiar in southern European countries, is employed to great effect.

Jeremy Barlow paintings feature in several art collections throughout the world, including that of the Dutch Royal Family. The City of Delft also bought 30 paintings for their topographical archives. Subsequently a book "Delft - by Jeremy Barlow" was published featuring a selection of 24 of Jeremy Barlow paintings of townscapes.

In addition to Red Rag Modern Art Gallery Jeremy Barlow's art work has been exhibited at other leading British Art Galleries. Each painting at Red Rag is sourced from the Jeremy Barlow artist studio and like all Red Rag Modern British art it can be shipped worldwide.
