About

Tom Ridout is a visual artist whose practice is grounded in a profound sensitivity to built form and the evolving character of place. With a foundation in landscape architecture and more than three decades shaping urban and natural environments, Tom brings a unique spatial and cultural awareness to his artistic work. This background informs a visual art practice where structure, transition, and the language of communication remain central themes.

His work investigates the tension between order and disarray. Through processes of layering, juxtaposition, and reconfiguration, Tom transforms the familiar into something newly resonant. The resulting images and compositions open up alternative ways of seeing, turning forms, images and words into vessels of meaning, memory, and imagination.
