“Many Hands”
Tom Polo
13 Sept → 12 Oct 2013

Tom Polo’s recent practice uses painting and installation with humorous text and figurative based works to discuss an anxiety with the human condition, ideas of portraiture and the modes of artistic production. In Many Hands, Polo presents new paintings and wall works that will emerge, develop and perhaps even disappear during the course of the exhibition dates. Many Hands will examine the roles of artist and audience and the expectations around our desire for an outcome.

Tom Polo lives and works in Sydney. He has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in Australia and London, United Kingdom. Recent exhibitions include: Future Figurative (New Personas), Gallery 9, Sydney; Extended Operations, KALIMANRAWLINS, Melbourne; Uncertain Pastures, Utopian Slumps, Melbourne; Time & Vision: New Work from Australian Artists, Bargehouse, OXO Tower Wharf, London; GESTURES AND MISTAKES, Gertrude Contemporary, Melbourne ; and Disappointed With Many People And Things, ACME Project Space, London.
