Will Thomson (b. 1992 London) lives and works in London. His multi layered works in oil, often hold paint on both sides of the canvas, along with 'forgotten' shapes and markings which are wiped away as the painting process evolves. Thomson is interested in breaking down concepts of the photographic process and trading detail for light. Drawing on notions of perception, namely how we remember, reflect and eventually forget, he aims to convey the emotions of a scene, rather than the facts.
