Tom Glynn FRSA – Biography
Tom Glynn is a rare breed: an artist who can move effortlessly between artforms, materials, scales and registers, equally adept at making miniature paintings and monumental sculptures. And yet all of his work is unmistakably English in mood. His images are populated by the country’s Neolithic monuments and pastoral landscapes, and informed by the many artists who inhabited those places before him. Glynn is driven by the same Romantic spirit that motivated Palmer and Turner, Nash and Piper, Wallis, Lanyon and Hockney, but his art is never anything but his own. It is, after all, underpinned by an urge that has coursed through his veins since he first stepped foot in a sandpit.
Tom Glynn was born in West Sussex in 1956 and educated at the Farnham School of Art (now the University for the Creative Arts). After an illustrious career spent in arts education, where he was Head of Art at two leading independent schools and senior examiner with the Pearson/Edexcel examinations board, Glynn retired in to full-time artistic practice in 2008. He has exhibited at the Northern Young Contemporaries, Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester, the New Ashgate Gallery, Farnham, the University for the Creative Arts, Farnham, and Hampstead School of Art, (HSoA). He has been awarded two major grants from Southern Arts, and has won multiple awards, including the International Open Art Exhibition at the LightSpace & Time Online Gallery in October 2016. His work is represented in many private collections in the United Kingdom, Europe, the United States, Canada and South Africa. Glynn is one of the most inventive British artists working today. Moving effortlessly between artforms, materials and techniques, he makes beautiful, playful and sophisticated images infused with a deeply-felt love of the world around him.
