The first monograph to explore the narrative, dreamlike paintings of British artist Tom Anholt Through layered storytelling and vivid allegory, Tom Anholt’s paintings traverse between the cosmic and the everyday. Anholt constructs serene, psychologically rich scenes in which the natural meets the manmade, often illuminated by glowing moonlight that reflects off watery expanses. His modern-day fables speak to our perpetual and vital desire for wonderment, human interaction, and love. This book, the first to survey his career from 2016 to the present, shows the range of Anholt’s work through a selection of sixty carefully chosen paintings. An art-historical overview is followed by short texts on individual paintings from world-leading curators as well as writers that cross the disciplines Anholt is drawn to, including music, education, and astrophysics.
