Will Thomson (b. 1992, London, UK) is a self-taught artist based in London. His work explores the physical and metaphorical barriers that shape our relationship to the world. Thomson’s multi-layered paintings reside in their own processes: they are a series of corrections and alterations, an attempt to make sense of what came before and to recognize how history and experience inform understanding of our environment. Despite being representations of everyday objects or scenes, the works interrogate the point at which visual/mental comprehension breaks down. Initially a photographer, Thomson employs photographic methodologies in the assembly of his paintings in order to deconstruct this relational understanding, extracting the elements of a scene and reconstituting its threads in an exploratory process of adding and removing paint.
Recent exhibitions include Two Hundred Pounds Of Cement at Problem Library, San Francisco, CA; Noontime Ghosts at Eve Leibe Gallery, London, UK; Pathways On Paper at South Parade, London, UK; and, Future Fossils with Alice Black Gallery, London, UK. The artist is based in London.
