ABOUT THE ARTWORK
‘FURNACE’ is a piece which uses imagery taken from a book on Alchemy. The furnace is an essential tool to the Alchemist’s goal, and here I use it as a metaphor for the body. The pills are inspired by the book ‘Empire of Pain’ by Patrick Raden Keefe, in which the painkiller epidemic occurring in America is discussed and its inner-truths revealed. This piece focuses on the way in which pills metabolise in our bodies and then instigate a chain reaction, eventually elevating or deteriorating our physiology. This is represented by the thunder cloud which sits on top of tangled string in the bottom right, representing our digestive system.

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.
