About The Artist

I am a Sussex-based stitch artist with a farm-based studio on the Sussex and Surrey border.

Mark making with thread has been fundamental to my art since my teenage years. Both free machine and hand embroidery are central to my work. Colour, and the lack of it, play vital roles. My machine embroidery is often monochromatic; I am very drawn to the black line of cotton thread on plain canvas although at times, if the subject matter calls for it, I will introduce colour. On the other hand, my hand embroidery explodes with colour and texture.

I am inspired by the wider environment and of that around me; from the back garden, local surroundings, photographs and images from around the world. A City and Guilds embroidery course led to Reigate School of Art and Fine Art courses, still using my embroidery skills.

Art Groups / Exhibitions

I was invited to join the ShedArt artist cooperative and have been a member ever since, exhibiting in many venues throughout Surrey and Sussex. Being amongst many painters, I have been enticed by the medium and found it to be a pleasant alternative.

I am also a member of an East Grinstead-based art group, Example, which has undertaken two Arts Council funded exhibitions within the local community.

About The Artist

Born in 1956 in West Sussex and educated at West Surrey College of Art & Design / University of the Creative Arts, (B.A. (Hons) F.A.), I enjoyed an established career as Head of Art at two leading academic independent schools and was formerly Senior Examiner / Moderator with the Edexcel Examinations Board - (Pearson Qualifications).

I have a long and varied fascination with ‘Wood’. My themes explore incongruity, archaeological qualities, visual ambiguity, pictorial and real space, political irony, symbol and humour, resulting in a wide range of outcomes made from expressively applied paint, assemblage, wood and objets trouvés that yield a plethora of colour, texture, form and spatial complexities.

Review by Dr James Fox : British Art Historian & Broadcaster

Dr James Fox, British Art Historian and Broadcaster has written my critique, available in full on my website.

“Tom Glynn is one of the most inventive British artists working today. Moving effortlessly between artforms, materials and techniques, he makes beautiful, playful and sophisticated images, infused with a deeply-felt love of the world around him”.

Exhibitions

Practising full-time since 2008, I exhibited at the Northern Young Contemporaries, Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester. Two major grant awards were received from Southern Arts.

I assisted David Nash with Ash Dome, Blaenau Ffestiniog and was commissioned by BBRK limited, (Shepperton Studios), for a site-specific sculpture.

My art is conserved and exhibited in many private collections in the UK, Europe, America and Canada.

I was awarded 3-Dimensional / Sculpture Category and Special Recognition Category in October 2016 - Global International Open Art Exhibition, Light Space & Time Online Gallery - Featured art collection at saatchiart.com

My painting and sculpture explore the narrative of everyday events and issues; historical journeys, the paradox of objects, and the abstract qualities of both landscape and the built environment. Aspects of the Sussex landscape are significant recurring themes.

I work with a multitude of found objects, materials and techniques within the scope of both painting and sculpture, in order to harness the mystery and visual excitement created by juxtaposition, visual memory and spatial configurations - (the surrealist and dada placement of objects and images). Louise Nevelson, Joseph Cornell, Howard Hodgkin, Ivon Hitchens and William Turnbull, whom I met at his Camden Square house and studio in the 1970’s, have been especially influential. I have also been significantly influenced by David Nash, whom I also met, at his Blaenau Ffestiniog home and studio and later, assisted him with his ‘Ash Dome’ in 1976.
