After completing a PGCE at the IOE (2020), the artist worked as an Art, Design lecturer and course leader for the UAL foundation program at Barnet and Southgate College until 2023.

 

Spicer is led by intuition, visual imagination and emotion, alongside a profound interest in contemporary consciousness, the human condition and notions of time. He is best known for his use of color and touch to explore what he feels to be the endless possibilities of painting. Working with washes of thinned down oil paint, staining, mark making and processes of removal, Spicer explores abstract pictorial space, covering and revealing the many movements and moments contained in his works.

​

Tomas Spicer has exhibited with Des Bains, London, UK, Lot Projects, London, UK and Institutio, Porto, PT. His work can be found in national and international private collections. ​
