Tom Giwi

Tom Giwi’s work builds on an evolving visual language, with each new piece growing out of previous drawings. This creates a sense of continuity across their practice while allowing forms to shift and change. They are drawn to work that feels in progress — art that invites curiosity and leaves space for imagination.

Influences from childhood — cartoons, anime, toys, machines — quietly inform their work, not as references, but as emotional starting points. Channelling the energy, excitement, and sense of wonder those things sparked. The result is work that’s visually sharp, structurally considered, and open-ended in meaning.

While not created for a specific audience, the work aims to connect beyond the art world — to anyone willing to look closely, even those unfamiliar with or intimidated by abstract art. It remains playful and strange while asking to be taken seriously on its own terms.
