Simeon Farrar is the British artist and designer behind Black Score, a London label that turns sharp social commentary into wearable art. Born in 1975, he studied fashion at Central Saint Martins before launching his own brand in 2004, frustrated by the industry’s pace and waste. Working from a studio in Shoreditch, he hand prints every T-shirt, sweatshirt and canvas tote with bold, single colour graphics that quote pop culture, politics and art history.

Farrar’s process begins with freehand ink drawings made on hotel notepads during late night flights. These sketches are scanned, enlarged and burned onto silk screens, then pushed across cotton using water based pigment. The limited runs often sell out within hours, creating a cult following that includes musicians, actors and museum curators. Recent collections have featured reinterpretations of Renaissance masterpieces, supermarket logos and tabloid headlines, each image stripped to its essential outline so the message hits quickly.

Despite commercial success, Farrar keeps production local and small, believing that scarcity preserves integrity. When he is not printing, he paints large canvases that extend the same visual language into gallery spaces, exhibiting at venues such as the Saatchi Gallery and Somerset House. By merging fashion, activism and fine art, Simeon Farrar proves that a simple cotton shirt can be a billboard for ideas, and that independent creativity can still shout above the noise of mass production.
