DAVID FARRANT

David Farrant was born in London in 1938, but now lives and works in Devon. He started his career as a portrait painter, building a reputation with over 20 commissions; he was a finalist in the John Player at the National Gallery and has also exhibited at the Royal Society of Portrait Painters, Mall Galleries and the Royal Academy. 

For some time now, David has preferred to concentrate on his large-format figurative painting in oils. He likes to hint at a story in his compositions, deriving inspiration from everyday scenes; the impact of light on moving figures is especially apparent in his work. David's work is widely known, and held in private collections worldwide.
