Tom Martin continues to explore the minute details of everyday banal object. The composition and subject matter of his work are items that are specifically relevant to his life: The food he eats, the gym equipments he uses and the intricate way these items react to light and his surroundings.

Behind Tom’s approach to making super-sized paintings of such everyday items lies a logic based on the unseen and more often, unobserved. ‘I am able to pack in the many unseen intricate reflections and abstract bands of colour. The subject becomes fascinating despite it origins, as the viewer is enabled to see closer than we would normally care to do’.

Having won the Rotherham Artist of the Year Under 25 in 2007, Plus One Gallery is pleased to present Tom Martin’s first solo show.
