b. 1993, U.K
Tom Faber is a London-based artist whose works capture haunted weather and environments in permanent flux. Using 3D animation and digital painting, he acts as a neurotic set designer who is trapped in another realm, imagining world-models constantly forming and collapsing. Often his scenes point towards the natural world, but hover in delusion and escapism. By recycling and collaging marks, or choreographing fabric over terrains and objects, his works make environments perform a ghostly dance, unfolding dissonant feelings of immersion within atmospheres which are seismically changing.
