Fine Art Magazine January 2019

Tom says: “Finding the right material for a collage relies on chance – spotting that piece of text or potential cutting at the right time, or looking for something specific and ending up with something better. There’s nothing more satisfying than taking a magazine cutting out of its original context and placing it within the urban composition to successfully suggest something else. People love discovering new things in my work, perhaps things they missed first time around. For me, the artwork has to operate on two levels – to look like an accomplished and impressive painting from afar but then to surprise you when it draws you in for a closer look at the detail.” CRAZY TIMES Embellished Paper on Board Edition of 195 16”x16”, £425 LOVE RUE Embellished Paper on Board Edition of 195 16”x16”, £425 11 NEW RELEASE TOM BUTLER
