Tom Hammick is a British painter and printmaker who gives painting and printmaking equal importance in his practice, with each process feeding the other, both informed by a wide range of source materials distilled through drawing. He prints in London and paints in East Sussex, where he is also Senior Lecturer in Fine Art Painting and Printmaking at the University of Brighton.

“With a visionary understanding of the printmaking medium and a beautiful Technicolored palette, he weaves together references to opera, poetry, cinema, architecture, myth and memory,” writes Nerissa Tayson, curator at Glyndebourne Opera House where Hammick has been associate artist since 2019.

Hammick has exhibited widely in the UK as well as in the USA, France, Canada, Singapore and Ireland. His awards include the V&A Prize at the International Print Biennale, Newcastle, UK in 2016. His prints are held by many institutions, including the British Museum (Prints and Drawings Collection); Victoria and Albert Museum (Prints Collections); Yale Centre for British Art, USA; the Chinese Academy of Fine Art; the Bibliothèque nationale de France, Paris; the Library of Congress Print Collection, USA.
