Tom Król

Tom Król is a German painter currently living and working in Cologne. He graduated in 2017 from the University of Design in Offenbach am Main. “SORRY” marks the reunion of his “Heads”, a series which, through painterly gestures, toy with the unstable contours that make up a face. Tom Król’s distinctive approach to portraiture flirts with our sense of pareidolia—the brain’s natural inclination to deceptively perceive familiar forms, such as that of a face, from minimal visual cues in unrelated objects. Whilst abstract shapes in themselves can only do so many things, Tom’s Heads do more upon perception. Hovering on the brink before abstraction fully takes hold, pareidolia bails out a familiar face from complete abstraction. Between chaos and clarity, Król’s Heads wink at us—half-formed, half-found—teasing the mind’s urge to turn the unknown into something familiar.
