The source of this life - changing bewilderment is teenager Barry Keoghan, whose somewhat unnerving stare (used to very different effect recently
as the doomed innocent on Mark Rylance's small craft in Dunkirk)
masks the true nature of his relationship with Farrell — not his son, or seemingly his
lover, so why does the lad keep hanging around the hospital, and why is the latter buying him expensive watches?
His most recent solo exhibitions include:
Lovers, Le Consortium, l'Académie Conti, Vosne - Romanée, France (2015 - 16);
Masks (Pentagon), Rockefeller Plaza, New York (2015); Thomas Houseago: Studies «98 — «14, Gemeentemuseum Den Haag, The Hague (2014); Striding Figure / Standing Figure, Galleria Borghese, Rome, Italy (2014);
As I Went Out One Morning, Storm King Art Center, Mountainville, NY (2014); Thomas Houseago: Where the Wild Things Are, Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK (2012) and What Went Down, Centre International d'art et du paysage, île de vassivière, Vassivière, France (2012, travelled to Museum Abteiberg, Mönchengladbach, Germany; Modern Art Oxford and The Ashmolean Museum, Oxford).
