Tom Martin 'Contemplation' 2012 Acrylic on Aluminium Panel 140cm by 100cm.
Similary to the last painting this work was created in paint whilst refering to many references, from photographic ones, to plasticine models.
Again the images I worked from were of different focal lengths and from slightly different viewpoints. I wanted to start the ideas flowing with the first two relatively simple paintings. The next ones will incorporate different ideas into these current themes in an attempt to further question reality and the world we know.
yeh while i'm very much aware of mels work and to some extent it was an inspiration, this was just a natural progression for me combining subjects which I was working with at the time. thanks
