About The Artwork
In 'Crack,' the artist has masterfully incorporated imagery sourced from Henry Dreyfuss's 'Symbol Sourcebook,' constructing a dynamic collage of various symbols and motifs. This composition weaves together a captivating narrative, prompting contemplation from its viewers. The bold black brushstrokes stand in stark contrast to the vibrant green hues, serving to underscore the prevailing dystopian theme encapsulated in the phrase 'Paradise Blown.' The deliberate omission of 'blown' adds an air of ambiguity, inviting interpretation and debate regarding the work's underlying optimism or pessimism. Within the delicate fracture of the egg, the artist has skilfully encoded a dual narrative: one of destruction and another of rebirth. This subtle detail underscores the piece's complexity. The appearance of a paddle and ball within the composition symbolizes humanity's ceaseless pursuit of joy, while also alluding to the potential consequences that can arise from such endeavours, thereby highlighting the inherent paradox of human existence.

United Kingdom
Tom engages with an eclectic range of images taken from the everyday, books, art history, and television. By funnelling a broad range of source material onto the canvas, the work oozes ambiguity. Although Tom is extremely selective with his choice of word and image, he combines them in such a way to blur any apparent meaning, allowing for a unique and individual voyage into the deep void created by the multitude of layers of paint and newspaper on the canvas. Tom’s work orbits around anti-capitalist themes as his bombastic brush strokes become an expression of detest towards powers of corruption. Tom’s work is a protest against the spiritually depraved world we live in and aims to sustain and invigorate the culture of art he is so infatuated by. Tom is a London-based artist who is a graduate from the University of Brighton and is currently studying a masters at UAL: Camberwell.
