Tom Hammicks paintings have been described as the physical creation of spaces for feeling and his increasing reputation as a painter of lyrical, figurative images is consolidated by this body of work.

Whether a woman in a gallery, figures in a wood, or the reverie of a little girl in her party dress, Hammicks paintings are depictions of emotional states. The images are imbued with the sense of looking back at older paintings and echoes of Munch’s The Voice, Seurat’s Bathers, Masaccio’s Healing the Cripple are apparent, but these works are current and the result of a complex interweaving of references, some literal, others psychological.

As part of our publication programme, artists have been invited to work on a suite of large scale monoprints. Involving the use of both silkscreen and etching based techniques within the same image, the project allows the artist to both explore the unique, the individual and the expressive within a single image, but also through the use of stencils and transfers, to have a repeatable element that means that a single image can be made to have many facets.

All monoprints are approx 100cm x 125cm
