This piece is part of a series of work I call the 'Escape!' series. 'Escape!' is a portrayal of the longing to escape the constrictions of the modern world, or a journey of evading the tolls of modern life. The stick figure is a representation of the human, void of class, gender, and race, to become a symbol of the ‘hero’, running from the confines of the painting. Each piece represents part of the journey, telling a story of the road to independence. The series intends on offering a positive representation on free will and the ability to create one’s own fate. Multiple paintings were necessary in doing justice to this grandiose theme. Typically, the theme of my work is more ambiguous, allowing for a multitude of interpretations. 'Capital' represents the initial jump into the limbo. I chose to etch the word ‘CAPITAL’ into the multiple layers of the background of the work to evoke the underlying presence of capital in our modern society, its acquisition being one of the fundamental driving forces of everything we do. The train represents the constancy of progress, which is fuelled by capital. By representing this notion, the hero becomes aware of the nature of capital and learns to evade its domineering presence.

Tom engages with an eclectic range of images taken from the everyday, books, art history, and television. By funnelling a broad range of source material onto the canvas, the work oozes ambiguity. Although Tom is extremely selective with his choice of word and image, he combines them in such a way to blur any apparent meaning, allowing for a unique and individual voyage into the deep void created by the multitude of layers of paint and newspaper on the canvas. Tom’s work orbits around anti-capitalist themes as his bombastic brush strokes become an expression of detest towards powers of corruption. Tom’s work is a protest against the spiritually depraved world we live in and aims to sustain and invigorate the culture of art he is so infatuated by. Tom is a London-based artist who is a graduate from the University of Brighton and is currently studying a masters at UAL: Camberwell.
