Lee Kay Barry is a London-based artist and studied at University of Leeds and the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia. Taking influence from the warm and bold Mediterranean colours, Kay-Barry’s paintings present an entangled but tender relationship between performer and spectator. He has exhibited internationally and managed art residencies in London.

Kay Barry says: “I’ll Let Heaven Decide represents a moment in time where I had to make some serious decisions in my life that would impact my future. Taking inspiration from my childhood love for comics and cartoons, I used a Two Face character that is shown to be holding up a coin as if deciding which side to choose. The fact that the figure is shown with the coin tilted it captures my personal indecisive nature.”
