‘Lost for Words’ is the new show from London based artist Word to Mother. Stolenspace plays hosts from the 19th March through to the 29th to one of Britain’s most exciting new artists. Word to Mother was born and raised in a small English seaside town, never far from a stoney beach, crashing waves and salty sea veterans. It’s this environment that has had such impact and influence on Word to Mothers work and can be seen throughout his drawings and paintings, whether that be the salvaged wood that he often uses as his canvas or the ‘Sailor Jerry’ tattoo references that appear subtly within his work, his paintings help to remind him of his roots whilst now dwelling in a town
called London that he makes home. If he is not drawing; and there’s rarely a moment in the day that his sketch book isn’t being filled with twisted sketches or letter outlines that nod to his past, then he is on the lookout for discarded objects, vintage printed matter, or reading and broadening his knowledge so he can find the correct metaphors and words to describe his visual language. His looseness of line, fluidity of style and energy present in each and every painting make his work and approach truly unique and have fast gained him a firm and loyal following, his last show ‘Till the Hot Runs Cold’ confirmed this by selling out within the opening night. With shows scheduled for London, San Francisco and LA his artwork ensures that no matter where in the world he travels he’s never far from his home-town port.
