ABOUT THE ARTWORK

'LIMITATIONS' is based on the seen and the unseen, defining the parameters in which we view the world. The chaotic jumble of colour and paint on the left symbolises the potentiality of life, whilst the camera films it to relay to the viewer looking at the piece. This is my phenomenalist approach in depicting the limitations of perception, expressed in the ragged frame and showing how what it contains barely represents what is outside. It is difficult for us to understand something fully when all of perception is filtered.

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.
