Description
About artist: Tom Climent is a painter based in Cork City. He is a graduate of the Crawford College of Art and Design where he received a B.A in 1995 and a Masters by Research in 2011. "Over my time as an artist the work I have produced has been structured into groups or series of paintings. This current series is mostly geometric in nature and has an overall landscape structure to it, but it also contains softer, textured pieces that operate as a compliment to the more brightly coloured abstract ones. My work generally tends to be suggestive, I feel it absorbs places I’ve been to, experiences I’ve had and ideas and images I come across. My process of painting embraces both logic and reason and also chance and accident. I allow myself to be guided by each individual piece. The work itself exists on the borderline between abstraction and representation but also between real and spirit worlds. I want my work to operate as a doorway, to invite the viewer into a new space, to offer an invitation to journey." He exhibits with Solomon Fine Art in Dublin. His work has been selected for the annual exhibitions at the RHA and RUA. He has participated in group exhibitions in London with the Herrick Gallery and in New York with the J. Cacciola Gallery and The Painting Center. He is also a recipient of the Heinrich Boll Cottage Residency, a Ballinglen Arts Foundation Fellowship, Cork City Council Individual Artists Bursary Award 2014, Working Art Grant 2014, Tony O’Malley Travel Award, Victor Treacy Award and a Department of Foreign Affairs Travel Award. His work is in the collections of The Central Bank, The National Treasury Management Agency, University College Cork, University College Dublin, University of Limerick, Smurfit Business School, AIB Bank, The National Self-Portrait Collection of Ireland, NCB Stockbrokers, The Cork Opera House, Cork City Council, The Office of Public Works, Cork Institute of Technology, The American Embassy in Dublin, Deloitte, Investec, Allianz, Ibec and private collections in Ireland, UK, Spain, France, USA & Canada.
