Striking Geisha images and dramatic mystical artwork will be on display at a Leamington gallery from December 5.
Tom Lewis describes his work as "beautiful, nonsensical meaning".

Since his last exhibition at the White Room Gallery in Regent Street two years ago, the Birmingham-born artist has featured in a number of high profile events including a live painting exposition at Selfridges in London.

Leamington residents may remember seeing cut-outs of Tom's characters hanging from trees, wrapped around lampposts and stuck to bridges.

He puts his unusual style down to a strange episode during his university years when on a train.

The story is too long to be told now, but it led to the creation of a mythological 18th century French philosopher, the forging of a sword and the images that you see today.

He says work can be described as an attempt "to order that which he cannot, to create meaning where there is none and provide narrative to an otherwise story-less situation".

Tom's most recent work can be seen at the White Room Gallery until January 31. Call 888086.
