STEPHEN FARTHING : PAINTINGS 1980-2010
13 Nov-12 Dec 2009
Purdy Hicks Gallery
London SW7 2LQ
This survey of Farthing’s paintings takes us through Modernism and Postmodernism to a series of paintings completed since 2000 in New York. Although clearly influenced by his immediate surroundings, these recent paintings demonstrate the degree to which Farthing’s sense as a painter of history, order, irony and colour really is quite European.
