About Tom Winney

Event: Drawing, Print, Paint

Dates: 26 Mar 2015 - 22 May 2015

Tom Winney presents a new series of drawings, prints and paintings, that build on the themes and ideas of his recent solo show at System

The primary focus of my current work is creating work using iconic/cult films, music and tv. Using a repetitious drawing technique - overlaying simple line drawings on top of each other - the artist produces intricately fractured, abstract images that are occasionally bleak yet convey a sense of motion. The ambiguity of form, use of negative space create an interesting narrative, with the emphasis on mark-making and disassociating the final image from the source material - although the images are littered with clues as to their origin.

Tom Winney
January 2014

This month RG features a body of new and recent works by Newcastle upon Tyne based artist Tom Winney.

This exhibition includes a selection of Winney's works on paper and canvas, created using a variety of mixed media and pen & ink drawing.

The artist describes his process in his own words:

'The primary focus of my current work is creating drawings from action sequences in old films. Using a repetitious drawing technique - overlaying simple line drawings on top of each other - the artist produces intricately fractured, abstract images that are occasionally bleak yet convey a sense of motion.

The ambiguity of form, use of negative space create an interesting narrative, with the emphasis on mark-making and disassociating the final image from the source material - although the images are littered with clues as to their origin.'

Event: Persistence of Vision

Dates: 9 Aug 2013 - 31 Aug 2013

System finishes the summer season presenting a series of drawings and prints from the emerging local artist Tom Winney. Using persistent and repetitious drawing technique the artist produces intricately fractured and abstract images, that are bleak and yet convey a sense of motion.

Persistence of vision is the phenomenon of the eye by which an afterimage is thought to persist for approximately one twenty-fifth of a second on the retina.
