“Thomas Cameron’s paintings document fleeting moments of urban life and offer an insight into his observations of the human condition. He is particularly interested in the notion of isolation and solitude, and the way in which this disposition is enhanced by the populated, yet disconnected, business of city life. This body of work presents Cameron’s partiality for night scenes and the glowing artificial lights that illuminate the city come dusk. Vignettes of everyday urban life are observed and captured with a heightened sense of tension and surveillance, conveying an emotional response to the often-melancholic atmosphere of cities” — Taymour Grahne Projects.
