TRANSCRIPT

Page 1: Hugo_Farmer_Folio_D-4

Hugo Farmer is a London-based sculptor and

artist whose creative skills have accumulated

in layers over a 20-year period as a boat

builder, sound engineer, producer and set

designer. ArticleTEN, his first major solo

exhibition in July 2014 provoked both press

and public interest. It centred around four

imperious life-sized sculptures engaged in

silent but vigorous debate. Paintings, film

and sculpture combined to test the realities

of free speech.

Hugo is one of select group of contemporary

sculptors working in life-size bronze.

He has long-experimented with methods

of capturing movement and emotion in

sculpture, and his collaboration with well-

known foundry Wolf & Stone has created

pieces which delight and provoke.

His paintings are bold and tactile; the grain

of wood, the texture of resin draw in the eye

– a craftsman’s ingenuity infused with

a political passion.

“I’ve always wanted to spark debate”,

he says, “to get people thinking”. Ever

interested in politics and passionate

about free speech, Hugo believes art

to be a voice which is heard differently

by different audiences.

“Art is a leveller. The hierarchy disappears – everyone should be able to access it equally.”
