Gus Farnes is a British artist working within a contemplative domain, fomented by human activity and the social milieu.

Led by interests in history, the natural world and identity Farnes sculpts using materials sampled from his local situation – remnants from a landscape, prehistoric monuments, organic matter and found objects are collaged using digital and analogue processes giving rise to figurative forms.

At the age of 16 Gus was introduced to alchemy of bronze casting by Laurence Edwards, captivated by this experience it set his course leading him to study Fine Art at NUA in 2000. After leaving Norwich, he moved to London and began working for Sotheby’s. In 2016 Gus left London to pursue his practice as an artist, establishing a studio and building a foundry located in Suffolk.

Farnes has shown work publicly participating in solo and group shows nationally, most notably with Sotheby’s, OHSH Central and Thompsons Gallery London. Farnes’ work has been acquired for private collections throughout Europe, Asia, Australasia and the United States.
