TOMAS WATSON
'RESONANT VARIATIONS'
Paintings, drawings and monoprints
3 - 17 JUNE 2017
At 30 Tottenham Street, off Charlotte Street, London W1T 4RJ
In this new series of work Tomas Watson is constantly painting until the work
resonates, like musical variations. He is encompassing all disciplines within the work, using collage, drawing, old photographs and painting onto canvas and jute cloth.
Included in the show are a series of beautiful, subtle silverpoint drawings, a technique
used by Leonardo da Vinci and cyanotype and lithograph monoprints, a method of printmaking founded in the 19th Century.
Tomas Watson was born in Sussex1971 and graduated from the Slade School of Art in 1994, having also completed an Anatomy for Artists course. He received a Greek Government on graduating and he now lives and works in Greece.
Tomas won the BP National Portrait Prize in 1998 and subsequently painted the author, John Fowles, for their Contemporary Collection and then painted the Master of Clare College, Cambridge. His work was included in a major travelling Museum exhibition in Germany, 'Intimacy! Bathing in Art', initially at the Kunstmuseum in Ahlen.
Tomas has been exhibiting with Jill George Gallery for twenty years with regular solo
exhibitions in London. His work is in many major public and private collections throughout the world.
