ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This work is inspired by Mark Rothko. Although the final image is quite far from a typical Rothko painting, I started it with the intention of capturing the essence of a Rothko work then developing on from that. During the creation of this work I was reading books on industrialisation and capitalism, inspiring me to try create a work along this theme. The aggression of the dog is meant to emulate the aggressive nature of industry as it grows and grows, attacking competitors, and asserting its dominance over the world.

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.
