Description

Inspired by minimalism, modernist painting and mid-century architecture, this work reflects an ongoing quest for the absolute minimum. The artist,  Tom Andries, has developed his own ink with a very specific viscosity – a mix of acrylic, Indian ink and charcoal – which gives every painting a surprising depth. Tom’s canvasses convey an extraordinary calmness and a natural spontaneity at the same time.

Tom Andries’ artistic practice consists of series of abstracts painted in black ink directly onto the canvas. With a few strokes of a heavy brush, he covers the surface from edge to edge, creating abstract forms derived from typography. Often working in black on white, he purposefully uses curve-linear and angular compositions to add tension. 

Tom Andries is a Belgian multidisciplinary designer and contemporary artist. His main body of work consists of monochromes painted in heavily textured black ink. Tom uncovers the essence and hidden beauty of typography, abstracting basic geometric forms from letters.
