Tom Cartmill is based in Reading (SE England), working from a studio unit on a farm just outside the town. Now settled in Berkshire, Tom has spent much of his adult life overseas, particularly in New Zealand, Southern Spain and Sicily. His work is exhibited widely and can be found in numerous private collections around the world, and also in a growing number of public and corporate collections.
Tom is gaining increasing recognition for his drawing: his work having been selected for a number of major exhibitions including the RA Summer Exhibition, London; The Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh and the Royal West of England Academy, Bristol. He also won the Rabley Editioning Prize in 2017 (seeing the launch of a new print edition at the London Original Print Fair at The Royal Academy of Arts, in 2018). Amongst other shows, his drawings have been selected for the Derwent Drawing Prize, The National Open Art Exhibition, The Discerning Eye, The Art Gemini Prize... In 2019, on the strength of his submitted drawings, he was selected as a 'Future Now Artist' for the Aesthetica Art Prize.
Warm-up
—
We will be warming up by playing with the ideas of texture. Play with layers of materials on a small scale.
Materials may be as simple as:
newspaper
old artwork
papers
printed photographs
tissue paper
whatever you may have available.
Pick one material and play with the idea of layering. You may add drawings or lines to your piece.
Think experimental and play as you warm up.
Project
—
We will be inspired by Tom Cartmill’s work in the exploration of the “passage of time” and or visual perception.
