Tom Folwell

Tom Folwell’s exquisitely detailed ‘Man of the Land II’.

Light and shadow delicately build a solitary figure, at home on a textured terrain.

Through a sensitive palette, Folwell pushes captivating details of ‘the every day’ to the forefront, presenting the viewer with an engaging sense of a new reality, one that is much more vivid and precise than what the eye might normally translate.

Folwell achieves his hyperreal rendering of life through the use of pencil under-drawings, multiple layers of colour and a photographic depth of field. Texture, light, and shadow are thoughtfully rendered with utmost clarity, binding his subject together with it’s environment through a sensitive understanding of detail amongst ‘the whole’.
