The latest artist to grace the walls of the We Are Birmingham Gallery is Tom Tebby, with this exhibition, Chop, opening 19 February.
Featuring new pieces and a selection of more familiar, reworked pieces, the exhibition will consist of detailed montages rendered across wooden panels and canvases.
Inspired by inner-city sprawl, discarded objects, architectural foliage and influenced by Avant Garde posters and decollage, the familiar and mundane are transformed into unexpected environments. Many of the works spread out like chaotic viruses and others dwell in a post-apocalyptic world where dereliction and organic mass have fused.
For more information, take a look at the Facebook event page, plus more of his work can be found on Flickr. The exhibition continues until 5 March.
I love Tom Tebby’s work, it flew off the wall quicker than we can put it up in the the CiB shop. I’m lucky enough to have a piece he created with layers of handmade paper. It’s one of my favourite things in the world.
