Erin Thomson’s niche is the incomprehensible. Using her interest in historical and scientific research, she builds new dimensions with no intention of meaning in paintings and encodes words into drawings to further complicate the ability to decipher. With this lack of understanding, she can create work that reflects both complexity and simplicity.
Erin Thomson is a Dundee-born painter based in Edinburgh. She studied Painting at Gray’s School of Art in Aberdeen, graduating in 2021. She was awarded the VAS Graduate Showcase Award, the SSA New Graduate Award and was selected for the RSA New Contemporaries 2023 and the RSA John Kinross Scholarship.
