Hyde Park Corner comes to the art gallery in Hugo Farmer's London show

British sculptor and artist, Hugo Farmer has his debut London exhibition articleTEN from 3 –6 July.

This politically driven show centres on life-size imperious figures cast in bronze by Wolf & Stone, a family-run foundry specializing in bronze fine art sculpture. The firm has produced works for other British artists, including Anish Kapoor, Jake and Dinos Chapman, and Antony Gormley.

The sculptures depict figures – 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, an attempt to make our moments eternal, in keeping with sculpture’s great tradition.

Farmer’s art installation engages with the visiting public. Visitors are encouraged to climb onto a soapbox and express themselves freely inside a replica of Hyde Park’s Speakers’ Corner, long a symbol of the right to free speech. A Twitter debate (via the #a10debate hashtag) invites everyone to air their thoughts with spits, smiles, scream or prayer.

See the Article Ten website for more details.
