Ian Barrett is a well known artist from
Manchester, UK, the owner of Jurassic
Jewellery and master creator of the most beautiful and fashion jewellery
made out of Fossils, Moon Rocks and Meteorites. Ian’s creativity has no limit
and fascinates his fans around the world to travel right to the Moon, Mars or
Jupiter by offering the finest kind and most affordable jewellery made with
real natural materials. Ian is a passionate artist who loves mixing natural
science, celestial objects and galactic phenomena as the main inspiring
components for his Jurassic Jewellery
as well as for his painting artworks.
Ian Barrett is the nephew of Syd Barrett, an English musician born
in Cambridge, UK, a visual artist by nature, a Synesthete songwriter, composer and singer worldwide known as the
founding member and front-man for Pink
Floyd.
The art of Ian Barrett has also been inspired by
the early music of his uncle. Some of his painting artworks reflect the primary
elements used by Syd Barrett on
musical compositions such as “Astronomy
Domine”, “Octopus”, “Effervescent Elephant”, “Dark Globe” and many others. It looks
like a personal way to keep alive the legacy of his uncle Roger “Syd” Barrett for the new generations.
A watercolor artwork titled
“The Octopus” has been chosen amongst
a number of outstanding paintings Ian Barrett
kindly sent to choose from for a leading Neuroscience
Project on Synesthesia. The
painting is being decoded by Adriana
Rubio, a music journalist, book author and screenwriter who was born a Synesthete with Asperger Syndrome.
(In July 2014 Adriana Rubio AKA Garden Music Project released “Inspired By Syd Barrett’s Artwork”,
a CD album of 12 tracks using 12 paintings made by Syd Barrett).
The album is mentioned on
the Official Syd Barrett Website:
Now, this new project is scientifically
supported and supervised by a group of skillful Physicians in Neurology (Doctor Darío Lisei), Radiology and Brain
Scanning (Doctor Juan Chomont) and
Physics (Doctor Gabriela de Pino). It
is a distinctive opening to study the neural basis of subjective experiences,
documenting the entire process of Synesthesia in its diverse facets, including
its cognitive, neural, and behavioral aspects. It is taking place in Buenos
Aires at British Hospital, a public
organization founded in 1844 which provides since then the best medical care
and hospital services to the Argentine and English speaking communities and
their descendants.
Doctor Darío Lisei is the one closely working with
Adriana Rubio. Aside from his duties
as a Neurologist in a wide range of Clinics, Hospitals and Sanatoriums, Lisei also is a musician so he clearly understands
the musical language while interacting with Rubio.
Watercolor Artwork “The Octopus” by Ian Barrett is currently being decoded by Adriana Rubio. The song will be played and recorded by “111”.
