ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The image of the scale was taken from a book on alchemy which emphasises the importance of scales in the Alchemists process of transmutation. It is also symbolic for balance and harmony, two fundamental principles for living in unity with yourself and the world around you. I soaked the bit of canvas that the scale is on in coffee then, before it dried, painted on the scale. I then rubbed the scale with another bit of canvas to give it a blurry, faded effect, adding an element of depth and time to the work. The background has been painted with several layers of acrylic to give it a matte surface texture, contrasting the bit of coffee stained canvas glued on top of it.

Tom Allwinton
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.
