Sean Farrell
Biography
Sean Farrell is an internationally recognized and highly collected artist. He is known for his luminous and vivid oil paintings with a great sensitivity to the beauty of light. With collectors of his paintings throughout the country and in parts of Europe, the artist is represented by six galleries in the United States through which he has sold over 300 paintings.
As a child, he spent many hours with a sketchpad, drawing everything of interest. In 1986, with the same excitement, he began working with oil paints. Continuing to learn, he decided to forgo art school and instead travel to Europe to study the works of the old masters. Having traveled extensively throughout Italy and also to the Netherlands his paintings reveal his affection for the 17th century Italian and Dutch masters, yet his work remains truly unique. Distinctive for their elegant and graceful compositions, his paintings capture the simple essence of a subject with rich jewel like color and an elevated sensitivity to the beauty of the light. The work reveals a master's touch and a quiet ease.
Sean exhibited in the 2005 Florence Biennale in Italy. The exhibition featured selected artists from around the world who participated by invitation only. An international committee comprised of art historians, art critics, museum curators and museum directors decide on the artists to invite to the exhibition. The Copley Society of Art in Boston sponsored the artist on his premiere Italian exhibition.
A former resident of Boston, Sean now resides with his wife and two young children in a farmhouse in Woodstock, CT.
