About The Artwork

This is the third in the series of Aphrodite paintings. It is the smallest. I am becoming increasingly fascinated with this transition yoga pose. How we feel and react in movement and between key parts of our life. It is inspired by mindfulness and the joy of freeing oneself from the monkey mind. I have started introducing number and letter stencils to imply the mind is freeing itself from the constraints of language and in turn physical form to experience pure contentment. The Alphabet Street element to the title seemed appropriate as I completed it a few days after Prince died.

My current work explores the feeling of being in a natural environment. I love working with texture and layering of paint to create history and depth in the piece. I work with acrylics and textural materials to create work that conveys the ability of thoughts and feelings to remain quiet whilst the senses are ignited. I aspire to create canvases that reflect a subtle sculptural quality that are overwhelmingly aesthetically driven. I use photographs from walks and journeys as inspiration and often post images on my @antoniathom Instagram account - these are my sketchbook, the seeds of many of my ideas for paintings. I look for the feeling of being barefoot in the sand, exploring beachside rocks or that all encompassing feeling of wanting to dive into the ocean on a warm day. To disappear, to relax, whilst still being aware of all that is around. I worked for many years in an office and holidays were often a common topic that helped us transcend the mundanity of everyday desk work. I love the idea that through looking at an abstract painting you can find a memory, a part of yourself in it that can take you on holiday in your mind. The light in Greece is a huge influence, and the memory of it I project into paintings that often start from a snapshot from a local Brighton walk. My process involves walking and exploring places old and new to me. I have written about it in “Walking In The Rain”, a book published by Octopus through Department Store For The Mind.
