Tom Lamprell

Tom Lamprell portrait
Tom Lamprell is a Norfolk-based contemporary artist whose work explores the relationship between accident, destruction and creation.

Following a devastating studio fire in 2016, Lamprell moved away from his established landscape practice towards a more experimental approach to painting and drawing. Working with unconventional and reclaimed materials, including aluminium advertising boards, carpet and found surfaces, he embraces chance, texture and the physical act of painting.

Moving between abstraction and figuration, his work challenges traditional ideas of artistic value and authorship, allowing materials, time and unexpected interventions to shape the finished image.
