Barrington Watson's work represents a fusion of cultural interests both European and Caribbean. From a Caribbean perspective, he visualises images of cultural and historical significance in his work, narratives so crucial to continuity within black culture.

Many of his paintings are figurative and attempt to accurately depict the Caribbean's temperate influences, its light, its colour, tropical feel and vagaries of the Caribbean's flesh tones. Petrine Archer

The communal lives of women, especially at work is another common theme in Barrington Watson's work. He is famous for producing works of art that depict women gathering at the market, or doing housework or chatting and gossiping (“kas-kas”).
