Farmer :: Short Bio:
"My paintings are largely concerned with the re-working of themes of
fairytale and fantasy, mixed with many modern-day references, always
trying to give a little disturbing twist to my interpretations. The result
is something that hovers somewhere between fantasy and satire, and is not
quite either.
I have a weakness for depicting the totally ordinary and mundane - when it
is quite out of context with the subject - a sort of inappropriate
normality, hence the common appearances of glasses of wine and cups of tea
amongst my pictures. I like the idea, for instance, of Devils on their
coffee break, after a hard morning persecuting the Damned. This kind of
subject also lends itself to the sort of undertones of fetish that often
colour the characters in my paintings.
I’m largely self-taught as a painter, though by background in Jewellery
training may in part account for the patience to work in meticulous
detail."
