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.”
