Artist Crush: Mathew Tom

April 20th, 2012 · No Comments

Mathew Tom via Hoxton Art Gallery. Tom is an American artist living in London. His recent work is heavily influenced by his time in India. By seamlessly weaving together aspects of Indian and Western visual culture, Tom’s paintings mess with your head a bit (as good art is known to do).

“Toms’ art places strong emphasis on symmetrical meticulousness… The artist can be seen to reference the stylisation of nature but with an ironic coil, harking to the aesthetic debates over ornamentation and its relationship to mass consumerist culture.”Hoxton Art
