’T-Rex’ is a Giclée Print by contemporary artist Tom Lewis. Printed onto 330gsm Somerset Enhanced Velvet Paper, the print is from a limited edition of 250 and is signed and numbered by the artist.
I’m fascinated by the idea of meaning. What is it? How does it come into being? Why do you feel it with some things and not others? What makes one thing feel like it is rich in meaning, and another utterly devoid of it?

Tom Lewis is a British artist and illustrator whose layered paintings and art prints are a colourful, playful and whimsical mix of traditional and digital techniques. Tom Lewis’ art begins life with pencil or marker pen markings, before the application of acrylic paint, aerosol cans, airbrushes, varnish, cardboard and digital imagery.
Lewis creates artwork that tells a story, blending elements of ancient mythology, traditional oriental design, and contemporary street art to embody a unique and instantly recognisable style. He is interested in automatic writing and subconscious mark-making, which he did a lot of whilst at university. Lewis works with a variety of mediums, creating sculptures as well as paintings. All pieces go through a couple of versions in order for Lewis to decide which route he wants to take. For paintings, Lewis often does the backgrounds digitally and then prints them on like wallpaper, before sanding them down, drawing the characters back on top, and painting them with acrylics, spray paint and anything else in his studio. Lewis has exhibited artwork in many cities throughout the world including Hong Kong, Singapore and New York. His work was also the focal point of an episode of BBC TV's 'Junior Apprentice', from which he garnered a supportive fan base.
We love how Tom's characters are inspired by random doodles and the strange people he encounters, creating a patchwork of nonsensical stories. Tom places great importance on storytelling, claiming that “social media has given everyone the power to tell their own story, but has it also helped people lose sight of why they are telling it? I think I am trying to tell stories about telling stories.” His endearing characters and animals are a joy to look at; Tom immerses each viewer in his own imaginary world.

Tom: A long time ago I started being interested in automatic writing and subconscious mark making, and I did a lot of that when I was at university. I also invented an ancient ...
