The Bravest Man In The Universe Painting

Using prominently oil paint self-taught artist Tom Rawles creates worlds heavy on narrative whilst avoiding fixed messages or morals. Having grown up in Laugharne, the small town in west Wales famed for being the home of Dylan Thomas there is often an appreciation of language found within Tom's work. This sometimes surfaces as text but can also be found in the interaction or expressions of people painted. Works address contemporary culture through renaissance-esque scenes, a modern world where halos are more bling than holy.
