Thom Trojanowski’s art is shaped by a deep sensitivity to nature, memory, and myth. Raised in the English countryside by parents who worked as ecologists, he developed a lifelong fascination with the rhythms and mysteries of the natural world. His paintings weave together fragments of landscape, folkloric motifs, and human presence, resulting in images that feel both dreamlike and unsettling. Sunbursts, moths, trees, and contorted figures emerge in saturated tones, evoking states of wonder, fragility, and transformation. Drawing from German Expressionism and the Polish Arts and Crafts movement, Trojanowski creates painterly worlds that are as much about perception and atmosphere as they are about narrative. His practice moves between immersive, large-scale environments and more intimate canvases. On one side, he creates sprawling installations where corridors and rooms become forest-like spaces, guiding viewers through symbolic journeys that culminate in powerful elemental imagery, such as burning suns or looming trees. On the other, his smaller paintings and drawings explore fleeting impressions of his walks in nature—bent branches, frozen ponds, shifting light—translating them into dense, tactile surfaces. Across both trajectories, Trojanowski captures the tension between reverence and unease in our relationship with the natural world, revealing its capacity to be at once nurturing, uncanny, and transformative. ...
