For this piece I had multiple sources of inspirations. The cracks came from the music video Logos from the band King Krule. The crack I felt was the perfect image to recontextualise the depth of layers into the final image. As you can see in the painting, in the cracks are several layers of paint, newspaper, and oil sticks used to write backwards Latin phrases, creating random, ecstatic imagery that exists purely within the abstract void of the painting. Many saw the cracks and thought they were cracks in a wall, which was an interesting correlation and one I had not intended but definitely made sense in terms of the image of the painting. I try to encourage as much free thinking as possible, allowing for multiple opinions and interpretations which suggest the painting can mean anything and is not subject to any one opinion of itself.

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.
