16/39 By Tom Hodgson
Above is an image By Tom Hodgson who is a recent graduate from York St John University. This was one of a number of 'Pure Abstract' pieces Tom had on show in Stone Soup offices as part of there ongoing series called Artworks. In there own words Artworks is 'Run by ad agency Stone Soup and art gallery ArtSpace, ArtWork showcases hot art talent in York through regular invitation only private views.'

Tom's show called 'Fraction' had it's opening night on August 6th and was a brave exhibition for any artists to put on. The work was simple and powerful in it's conviction; that is not to say there where not a few floors but working from home can be very tricky especially where wood work is involved. Tom is luckily one of a few new interns who will be making use of a studio space at Bar Lane Studios. The show had a strong singular aesthetic with all the works being base on a equation and the remaining fraction decided the proportion of Black to White. The Gloss finish was a nice touch and the way the black was slightly raised also added to the presents of the work not just as painting but sculpturally.
All in all it was a nice Exhibition and hopefully there is plenty more to come from York St John Graduates and future artists in the City.
