Tom Polo: Recent Positions, Station Gallery, Melbourne, 4 June - 2 July 2016
Tom Polo's style is instantly identifiable, featuring abstract portraiture filled with emotion and bubble-like prose in bold, striking colours that can be simultaneously emotive and ironic. He focuses on people and the dynamics of human relationships that emerge from our interactions in both public and private spaces. Although portraiture comprises a significant portion of his work, his paintings are not based on real life. Instead, they are shaped by his experiences and encounters, capturing the sentiments or gestures embodied by others.
