Tommy Carman explores how artistic agency can be asserted amidst competing proscriptive demands in contemporary painting. Carman’s photorealist and abstract paintings – which draw on theory and photography – form an index with constantly shifting relationships, so challenging singular cohesive readings of his works. Carman’s practice affirms painting as more than just a vehicle for theory or mimetic representation: it is a vehicle for the exercise of freedom in the combination of and movement between styles.
