About The Artwork
The Green Lion is a recurring motif in alchemy. The Green Lion refers to the spirit within matter, also known as Mercury or the Philosopher’s Stone. The sun is representative of the Logos, or the spirit, whilst the lion refers to matter. The whole principle of alchemy was to extract the divine spirit from matter, the Green Lion is just one example of the many analogies used to express this process. Here, a modern twist is given to the old alchemical art in such a way as to reweave it into our modern context. Alchemical principles, although out-dated, have some interesting perspectives on nature and the function of the Universe. Art, in some ways, is like Alchemy in that it is a form of extracting divinity from inanimate matter.

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.
