Douglas Farthing – Artist talk

All welcome and our meetings are free to attend, please arrive in good time to find your seat!

At the Chapel, Park Lane, Norwich NR2 3EF

 

 

We are very pleased that Douglas is coming to discuss art and life, including a recent residency on a remote Scottish island.

Earlier this year Douglas’s exhibition, Neutrality was shown at Mandell’s, powerful work – showing precision in visual reportage, as well as painterly gesture and such depth to his subjects. With the following summary: For three years Douglas Farthing has been travelling through Ukraine, Gaza and South Sudan helping people in the most dangerous of circumstances. This exhibition was his response to living in these areas of conflict. ‘Probably the best art incorporates and digests misery and evil… Goya and Picasso’ – Paul Fenner, from a conversation with Douglas Farthing.

Here’s a link to a review and images from a recent drawing exhibition, where a sketchbook was shown among other works: Royal Drawing School 25th Anniversary Exhibition (review) — London Art Roundup
