Hugo Farmer ArticleTEN exhibition

British sculptor and artist, Hugo Farmer presents his debut London exhibition articleTEN. Respected and admired by his peers – Farmer has commissioned work for, and with, some of the UK’s most acclaimed, applauded and iconic artists of the last two decades.

This politically driven show centres on life-size imperious figures cast in bronze by Wolf & Stone, acclaimed family run foundry specializing in bronze fine art sculpture with works produced for other British Artists such as Anish Kapoor, Jake & Dinos Chapman, Anthony Gormley to name but a few.

The sculptures depict – the priest, the sergeant, the politician, and the youth – all of which have something to shout about through their megaphone-sculpted heads. These figures are of, and about us now. Our moments made eternal, in keeping with sculpture’s great tradition. They are a mark of respect for, and appreciation of, the esoteric symbolism that makes silence sing.

Farmer is creating a major art installation that engages with the visiting public. Visitors are encouraged to climb onto a soap box and express themselves freely inside a replica of Hyde Park’s Speakers’ Corner. A Twitter debate (via the #a10debate hashtag) invites the globe to air their thoughts with spits, smiles, scream or prayer.
