Notes
Tom Farthing's painting grows out of his experience of the urban environment, treading the line between figuration and abstraction, exploring the potential for finding narratives and new meaning in the overlooked or overly familiar.
Colour and its interactions and relationships currently plays a central part of his concerns as a painter.
He was born in the USA in 1982 and lives and works in London.
