Daniel Farrow (b. 1994 in Norfolk, UK) is an artist whose work channels turbulent personal histories into explorations of the transformative nature of art-making. 

Growing up in foster care, experiencing parental abuse and mental health challenges at a young age, Farrow started auditioning as an actor at the age of seventeen, pursuing various roles in film and television, before he eventually founded indie music label New Black Records, which worked with up-and-coming artists producing records and directing music videos. He then worked in the restaurant and hospitality industry, where he struggled with alcoholism and addiction, candid subjects that feature throughout his work. In 2022, Farrow suffered a breakdown in his mental health with multiple visits to the hospital after several suicide attempts and ongoing bouts of mania and depression, which led to him selling his restaurant and beginning to create artwork full-time. 

Farrow’s early paintings and sculptures were overtly created in altered states and the work during this period is often noted for its manic and chaotic depictions of various mental states through abstraction and figuration. His practice eventually led to his sobriety, and this trajectory is the basis of much of his current work examining the healing process, the self and rebirth. 

He lives and works in London, UK.
