Exclusive Interview with Tom Glynn โ€“ Part 3 | Taking Care of Business

How much do your paintings cost? “My paintings range in size, theme and medium and whilst I make very large and small paintings, the price can vary considerably. A small ย painting may take me one to two weeks to complete, while a very large ย painting will evolve over one to two months and involve more materials. Typically, I have sold A5 to A4 paintings from $5,000 to $8,000ย (dependent upon the dealer or gallery commission) and very large ones from $10,000 to $15,000. My paintings will also be valued against myย expertise, experience and reputation and of course every piece I make is unique and continues to increase in value. With regards to my sculptures and assemblages, prices are on application.”

Tom Glynn is a rare breed: an artist who can move effortlessly between artforms, materials, scales and registers, equally adept at making miniature paintings andย  monumental sculptures. And yet all of his work is unmistakably English in mood.ย  His images are populated by the countryโ€™s Neolithic monuments and pastoral landscapes, and informed by the many artists who inhabited those places before him.ย  Glynn is driven by the same Romantic spirit that motivated Palmer and Turner, Nashย  and Piper, Wallis, Lanyon and Hockney, but his art is never anything but his own. Itย  is, after all, underpinned by an urge that has coursed through his veins since he firstย stepped foot in a sandpit.ย – Dr. James Foxย | British Art Historian & Broadcaster

Exclusive Interview with Tom Glynn – Part 2 | Assembling Life

What makes your art unique? “My paintings, sculptures and assemblages are potentially unique as Iย explore the narrative of everyday events and issues, historical journeys,ย the paradox of objects and the abstract qualities of both landscape andย  the built environment. Direct responses to landscape are significantย recurring themes. I work with a multitude of found objects, materials andย  techniques within the scope of painting and sculpture, in order toย harness the mystery and visual excitement created by juxtaposition,ย visual memory and spatial configurations – the surrealist and dadaย  placement of objects and images. Themes and visual ideas oftenย  explore incongruity, archaeological qualities, visual ambiguity, pictorialย and real space, political irony, symbol and humour, resulting in a wideย  range of outcomes made from expressively applied paint, collage,ย  assemblage, wood and objets trouvรฉs that yield a profusion of colour,ย texture, form and spatial complexities.”

Artificial Intelligence on Art Investing

The World Art News is continuing its art exploration of the Worldโ€™s Leading Artificial Intelligence system โ€˜ChatGPTโ€™. This time we decided to find out what AI knows about Art Investing. Keep in mind that this entire article was written by a machine, we just asked it the right questions and added some headlines.

“One of the main benefits of investing in art is its lack of correlation with the stock market. While the stock market may experience fluctuations, the art market has its own set of independent factors that can affect prices. This means that an investment in art can potentially provide a hedge against economic downturns.”

A Modern Romantic: Reflections on the Art of Tom Glynn

By on • ( 5 Comments )

If some artists are born and others made, Tom Glynn is undoubtedly one of the former. Growing up in West Sussex in the 1950s and 60s, he possessed a voraciousย  aesthetic sensibility from the start. Not long after beginning at school, aged five,ย  he spent the best part of a week constructing an elaborate tunneled structure in aย  sandpit โ€“ astonishing his teachers in the process. In subsequent years he fashionedย  animals from plasticine, made assemblages from scavenged wood, sketched onย  scraps of paper, and built miniature model theatres. As he grew older, Glynn becameย  interested in earlier artists, establishing what he has called a โ€˜lifelong friendshipโ€™ย  with the work of Picasso, Matisse, Arp and Brancusi. But his ambitions to becomeย  a serious artist himself only crystallized at the age of fifteen, when he visited theย  studio of the great post-war British sculptor, Robert Adams. Glynn even showedย  the older artist some of his own creations, which Adams is said to have admired.ย

Internationally acclaimed contemporary artist and social media influencerย Dan Lamย is an artist based out of Texas. Lamโ€™s drippy sculptural work explores sensational dichotomies by mixing unconventional materials, organic forms, and bright colors. With contrasting themes verging on beauty and grotesqueness at once, her art provokes its viewers to ponder meaning and existence while inspiring feelings of familiarity and wonder.

Curiosity, play, and fun are the foundation of where Lamโ€™s work begins. Her experimentation results in beautiful sculptures created with various materials such as foams, polyurethanes, resins, acrylics, and polymers, which defines her style.
