'Girl at a table' by David Farrant

Today Red Rag is featuring one of the leading British Artists - David Farrant .

was born in London in 1938.

Farrant was born in London in 1938 and studied art at St. Martin’s, London. Following training at St. Martin’s, David developed an impressive career which established him as one of the finest British painters of portraiture in the country. He art works were shown at major British Art Galleries including the National Portrait Gallery and at the Mall Gallery in London with the Royal Society of Portrait Painters.

Today David Farrant no longer paints portraits preferring to concentrate on his figurative painting . Like Hopper or Vettriano, David Farrant’s primary inspiration stems from everyday scenes of human interaction. Using these day to day images and outstanding observational skills Farrant creates wonderful paintings with muted colours and complex shadows. David tries to hint at a story in the composition of each painting, but it is the impact of light and especially sunlight which is a constant inspiration to him.

David Farrant original paintings are now a major addition to the art galleries in Bath . They are showing at Red Rag in Brock Street. Also at the Bath Art Gallery are David Farrant Limited Edition Prints.
