The Discerner
Hugo Farmer
Conflict, contradiction and downright fury runs through Hugo Farmer
and his work like ‘Brighton’ through seaside rock. So, although his
imperiously figurative bronzes subvert age-old traditional forms to
wreak silent havoc and invoke chaos there’s no escaping the reverence,
craftsmanship and, yes, sheer graft in his art.
While the sun and the resin are slo wly setting on other works, his new
paintings are a rare instance of symmetry and order amid his barely
caged anarchism. And their highly finished, tactile, landscape-like
topography is alive with a joy and exuberance of colour quite unlike his
other works. Parsimonious yet liberal; chaotic yet ordered; iconoclastic
yet committed to the craft of his art, Hugo Farmer delights in the
random.
