Horace L. Farlowe was born in the small town of Robbins, North Carolina. Over the course of his forty-five-year career, Farlowe produced a body of work which ranged from large action canvases to small and large scale sculptures influenced by the work of Henry Moore, Constantin Brâncu?i, and architectural space.
Farlowe focused primarily on sculpture in the 1970s. While he continued creating smaller works in stone, he also completed some large-scale pieces such as a twelve-foot-high sculpture titled Walk Through (1975) for a site in Greensboro, North Carolina, and a fourteen-foot-high concrete water fountain (1977) for the campus of North Carolina State University.
Farlowe taught at various institutions including Bennett College in Greensboro, North Carolina; Adams State College in Alamosa, Colorado; the University of North Carolina, Greensboro. Thereafter Farlowe embraced some visiting artist positions, the last of these was in 1979 at University of Georgia (UGA) in Athens. After this semester long appointment, he accepted a full-time teaching position in 1980. During his twenty years at the school much of his focus was on the stone carving program, which he would develop into one of the strongest in the country.
