Roy Tomlinson

Roy Tomlinson

2005I have a particular fascination with objects and environments that have accrued the evidence of history. My interest is in the presence and origins of historical residue and their effect on how we respond to a given moment. This is territory I have been navigating in my work as an artist for years.

My paintings, as well as my work in other media, are made by layering information. The transparent nature of my working process allows previous layers to be discernible creating a visual archive of formal, personal and conceptual decisions. I work with content culled from various sources. For the past few years my imagery has been derived from photographs and films. My recent sources have included photographs of ruins from the World War II bombings in Europe, the periphery of crime scene photographs, and a burning house appropriated from film footage that in itself has deteriorated with age.


Roy was Colleen’s teacher and mentor during her art school days. We’ve enjoyed following the path of his art ever since and continue to be inspired by Roy’s work today. Since he is also the father of a toddler, we thought it only appropriate that his art grace Kalen’s Big Boy Blend Syrah named after our son.
