Tom Norris

(b 1990, United Kingdom. Lives and works in London)

Tom Norris often works at combining surface and form to explore ideas that move from the playful to the serious; from the simple to the sacrosanct. Norris presents these ideas as a layering of figuration and abstraction enveloping the surfaces of his work. Norris's exploration of mark making hints at a narrative directed by the use of symbol; line and colour. The lack of a ”˜full stop' in the work allows for stories; characters and marks to make way for each other across and around their surfaces.
