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. “Happy Face 1 (By-Product 2)” - £3500 Acrylic paint,Oil paint,spray paint on wood with a Resin finish 122 x 122cm Available to view at the Discerner’s Residence in Mayfair T: 07958620824 “Sargent” - £18500 Bronze Edition:3 Available 2/3 82 x 96 x 70cm Available to view at the Discerner’s Residence in Mayfair “Mashup Large (By-Product 3) ” - £5000 Acrylic paint,Oil paint,spray paint on wood with a Resin finish 244 x 122cm E: [email protected] W: [email protected] For all enquiries, please contact Hugo or Celine at [email protected] or 020 7491 9925 www.thediscer ne r . c om 21
