Notes
“Barn was created in London from drawings and memories of walking in the Sussex landscape. My work is drawn from my experience of the world and my paintings exist at a point between contrasts. Between abstraction and figuration, fullness and emptiness, imagination and external reality. I work from drawings and photographs which I make as a daily practice and my paintings emerge from this base. Water and its effects on light is a recurring theme in my work, as are the qualities of light at different times of day, and the relationship between figure and landscape."
Tom Farthing, 2020.
