I jumped at the chance to photograph one of my favourite artists, John Farrington. The main body of Farrington’s work explores the relationship between the human and animal kingdoms, and their relationship to the environment.
His paintings are a mesmerising combination of his verdant imagination and an often gritty realism. Blind in one eye, Farrington paints bird men, fairgrounds and circuses and has depicted the grimmer aspects of farming, having worked as a cowman.
