Tomas Spicer is a contemporary artist living and working in London. His practice encompasses drawing, painting, and exhibition-making, exploring autobiography, storytelling, and alternative forms of literacy through colour, mark-making, and installation.
Spicer left school unable to read and write, an experience that continues to inform his understanding of language and meaning. Working across painting, drawing, and spatial presentation, he considers how knowledge can be constructed through looking, association, material experience, and visual relationships. His work draws on histories of abstraction and is informed by an ongoing interest in visual language, learning, and the ways meaning is assembled both individually and collectively.
Alongside his studio practice, Spicer works with young people as a mentor. He regularly hosts studio visits and conversations, creating opportunities for dialogue around contemporary art and artistic practice. Spicer is not currently represented by a gallery.
