Tom Worsfold

Tom Worsfold previously studied at the Slade School of Fine Art.

Worsfold makes pictures of everyday life, whether in memory or imagined. The paintings are often intensely laboured, made working flat, like giant watercolours. His drawings and prints are made quickly. The subjects often come out of doodles based on daily observations: dirty tube seats, glass-fronted swimming pools, blocked plug holes and spoilt children.

Attending to “patches” of canvas bit by bit results in an image built from accumulated parts. Worsfold has been depicting figures recently more as fictional character profiles: a red-eyed bather; bespeckled voyeur; a catwalk queen. Figures exist as collections of ‘things’ and surfaces, which tell us what’s what.

The paintings embrace a variety of viewpoints; paint re-describing the desires and anxieties of his people.
