5 O'clock Shadows by Tom Butler

Illustratively lurching from crossword puzzles to blocks of flats or – and just as likely - from a wine bottle to a church spire, Tom Butler’s default creative setting is very much one of considered and measured intrigue seamlessly blended with a sense of value added humour; and for that we can all be eternally grateful. And also, for that reason we can ALL be in. At the very least in on the fast-emerging contemporary cityscape artist’s pictorial presence and towering talent from the beginning.

A new creative kid on the modern art block he may be, yet already Butler is going from vista strength to panoramic strength with his brand new series of breathtaking visual snapshots of various iconic landmarks from across the globe. And what better example to kick-off your interest in Butler than this, board only hand-embellished giclee study, which is up for grabs as we speak/write. Limited to a mere 195 editions from launch, ‘5 O’clock Shadows’ affords us all a glimpse of what’s to come from one of the (already) stand-out artists of the last couple of years, who we envisage will be around for some considerable time to come.
