Tom Scotcher (b.1992) is a Lewes based artist who studied Visual Communication (BA Hons) at Central Saint Martins (2011-14) and thereafter at the Royal Drawing School (2016-17). In 2024, Tom was awarded with the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant of emerging figurative artists to produce a body of work for his solo exhibition, ‘Desire Paths’.
BSG met Tom Scotcher in 2024 with a special gallery visit to the Bloomsbury Group’s hand painted chapel in Lewes. Scotcher participated in our infamous online group show ‘Works On Paper 7’ in 2025 and was part of Blue Shop Gallery’s summer group show ‘Bucolia II’ in July 2025 followed by participation in London Art Fair 2026 with Blue Shop Gallery.
Painted en plein air in the beautiful Sussex countryside, Scotcher captures the heat, light and beauty of the British summer. Expect thickly daubed paint, hot red suns hanging above the quarry, and landscapes transformed by the changing seasons.
Multi-panel works are pieced together like jigsaw puzzles, capturing the passage of time across a single view. Along river bends, between trees and across open fields, Scotcher paints directly from the landscape that inspires him, creating works that are both immediate and deeply rooted in place.
