Tom’s diaphanous paintings suspend and encapsulate fleeting moments in time. They allow the viewer the opportunity to contemplate and reflect upon a sensory and emotional reaction to environments and situations, that cannot be specifically conveyed through literal, modern day media, such as photography.
His work, whilst exploring perceived notions of beauty, veers between the meditative and the menacing, the ethereal and the eerie. His ability to convey light and it’s nuance is peerless.
