Off the grid

Biography
Thomas Gillant's work is characterised by gestural abstraction, digital aesthetics, and colour vibration. Using oils in a limited palette and a wide range of tools, including spray guns, brushes and rollers, he resists emphasising any specific aspects of the composition, thereby uniting the canvas and keeping the eye in motion. By using shapes that tease our depth perception, and experimenting with colour juxtapositions to create vibrational effects, his work creates a strong and immediate visual impact.
