Tom Davidson


Tom Davidson is a local artist. When I went to research him I couldn’t get a lot of information on him just a website of which I presume is his. When I had a look at his website I was quite impressed with a lot of his work. Some of his prints look like photographs when you first see them.

On his website it tells you how he does his work:  “Tom Davidson’s lino-cuts are produced from a single block of linoleum, using a reduction process, printing each colour on top of the previous colour, working from light to dark. All of Tom’s works are hand drawn, or cut and printed by the artist. His prints are produced in limited editions of between twenty and thirty”.

Due to image copyright I cannot insert any of his print works, however one example I would pick would be the one image that is titled An Audience With…. I like this image because I like the way he’s used green to create light.  Another example of a print that I like and think that it looks like a photograph is titled Forth Bridges.  Also I like the subject that he has used which are landscapes and nature.
