Tom Pearman: United Kingdom; Many of my works utilize screen-printing techniques. I enjoy the notion that in screen-printing all three dimensional form is flattened in an instant. It is this idea that flourishes throughout my work unrestricted by the mediums used. For example, when casting concrete or painting plastics, I employ similar application techniques found in printing such as registration and stenciling. My work often investigates and employs the language of graphic representation to depict an array of narratives and I frequently shift and distort this visual vocabulary to varied levels of abstraction. These narratives found in my work stem from an explorative and humorous approach to subject matters such as film, Manga, flora and fauna, fictional science, literature, and low-tech special effects. These themes often overlap, as do the materials and techniques used to describe them. My art often has a physical premise that exposes the process involved to make it. Any mysterious secrets apparent are whimsical, capricious and transparent. www.tompearman.co.uk
