This piece includes imagery taken from digital iconography, like a mouse, play button, and a rewind button, and words like ‘screen’, ‘T.V.’, ‘shuffle’. The scrappy, unrefined brush marks of the painting juxtapose the digital imagery it reflects, ironically commenting on the inhuman nature of the digital world we are so engrossed by. At the time of producing this piece I was reading ‘The Creativity Code’ by Marcus Du Sautoy, a book that comments on quickly evolving AI. The fundamental difference, Sautoy speculates, between human intelligence and machine intelligence, is creativity. Sautoy says, however, that due to the newly developed model of the ability to learn that has been programmed into some AI they may not be as far off from this trait as we think. The crocodile in the centre of the painting represents our fear of AI or the new digital age and it slowly encroaching into our lives like a predator. The menacing tone of the piece’s title is meant to be off putting, contrasted by its vibrant colours, creating a contradictory mix of emotions.

United Kingdom
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.
