tomolennon - figures lurk in shadowy yet colorful atmospheres ignited by expressionistic highlights
One of the most exciting young figurative painters in Toronto today, tomolennon is creating art about people and city life that is both settling comfortably and seductive. His art reflects our ever-so-lonely city lives and sufferings. And his figures lurk in shadowy yet colorful atmospheres ignited by expressionistic highlights, deftly moving between representation and abstraction. tomolennon was born in 1973 in Japan and has been living in Toronto, Canada. He was presented with the "Best Artist" - award from NOW Magazine in 2002 and EYE Magazine in 2003 as the best local visual artist of the year.
