Giclee print #6 on fine art paper, edition of 50 Fortunately I have not suffered from depression myself, but my father was a life long sufferer, for that reason I was initially unsure about exhibiting this work. However I’m glad that I have as a number of people have commented that they found it helped them to “put a face” on their own black dog. The use of the term “Black Dog” to describe depression was popularised by Winston Churchill. In a letter to his wife Clementine he wrote – “he (the dog) seems quite away from me now – it is such a relief. All the colours come back into the picture”. This was the inspiration for this painting. The colours, and the shadowy form of the dog are both metaphors for the lurking black mood that follows never too far behind, waiting to turn all the colours grey.

A few years ago I was lying in hospital thinking about what I would do with the rest of my life. It was at that point I knew that if I recovered I wanted to become a professional artist. I was then lucky to spend time working with Caroline Hulse an establish artist and Slade alumni. And the rest so they say is history. I have two distinct practices. This work follows my interest in sport and emotion. I also create work with a more serious tone most recently working with people suffering from PTSD, that work features on my personal website, www.andyfarr.com
