Tom Hammick
Born: 1963
Tom Hammick is an
artist living in the UK.
Primarily a painter and printmaker he is also senior lecturer in fine art
painting and printmaking at the University
of Brighton.
Tom's prints and
paintings have equal importance in his practice. Each process feeds the other,
both informed by drawings, photographs and newspaper cuttings as source
materials.
Hammick Editions is the imprint and publishing name
representing Tom Hammick's editioned
prints. All prints inclduing, woodcuts, drypoints, etchings, lithographs and
mezzotints are individually hand-made by the artist in tiny editions in his
home studio, and where scale necessitates, on larger presses at Sanguine
Studios with Rob White.
While images are drawn and cut on the plates by the artist,
be they relief or intaglio processes, Tom
is happy to use digital processes in the mix and is always looking for new ways
of making prints.
