Tom Fitch is a fine artist and illustrator from the West Midlands. Most of his work is inspired by contemporary British culture and music. He is most recognised for his Grime portraits where he try’s to link the music and art together visually.
Fitch has been creative and artistic since he was a child. As teenager he was heavily inspired by Pop Art and graffiti, and used to graffiti around his town learning from local artists. At the age of 20 he was introduced to social media platforms such as Instagram and Twitter and began posting his artwork online. His work has since been acknowledged and collected by many people from the British music industry such as Giggs, Skepta, JME, Fredo, Mist, Aj Tracey, Bugzy Malone and even some people internationally.
2018 - Present
Recently Tom Fitch has started a new series of work based around his love of wildlife. Majority of the works are based on endangered species. Fitch uses his skills and platform to raise awareness of each animal. Each painting from the series includes a more abstract and expressive style compared to his previous work. Fitch uses bright and bold colours along with dripping paint to signify the decline in population of the endangered animals, as if they were melting away.
