Artist Statement

Tom Parker Artist Statement

I love producing very textured abstract art. My non-figurative and figurative art reveals my expressionism-style and my internally driven exploration of vibrant and intense colors. I typically produce non-figurative abstract paintings, layer by layer, that are rich in color and texture. I try not to get caught up in my own preconceived ideas and notions of what the final result should be. In effect, I allow the painting to take me on a twisting and turning journey that keeps me guessing what the final outcome will be.

In many of my large textured paintings you will find that I combine acrylic paint, oil paint and wax with a few found objects, e.g. stones, metal, paper, sand, wood, etc. to create a large, textured, mixed media canvas. I have been awarded several First Place awards or Best In Show awards for my abstract work and currently have client/buyers in the United States well as Europe. Art Business News selected me as one of the Top 50 Artists to watch in 2014.
