DECEMBER Tommy Grace

“Fifteen Easy Pieces” Oil on Canvas

Tommy Grace's work is a play of opposites, balancing tight draftsmanship with messy gesture. Previous paintings present imagined ruins, meticulously drawn from Classical architecture but swimming beneath the random stains of Rorschach inkblots, or exquisite geometric patterns skilfully corralled from a testing combination of red wine and blotting paper. Taking the disposable detritus of our everyday, consumer-driven lives and playfully combining it with historical reference, Grace explores the legacy and lifespan of things, considering current visual culture through that of the past.

“Fifteen Easy Pieces” casts a realist eye across the scant remains of a dinner party and a chance display of abstract mini-masterpieces.
