Thomas Helyar-Cardwell presents paintings and sculpture based on precious objects from a parallel reality, fantastic jewels and motifs heavy with nostalgia and symbolism.

His paintings and sculptures collect objects and decorations from historic genres such as the Baroque and Rococo, re-presenting them alongside icons of mass consumer culture. The resulting works often use mirroring and repetition to emphasise the unreality and artificiality of the creations, which are painted to falsely suggest precious metals. Like a piece of costume jewellery or a plaster statue covered with gilt leaf, the works exploit a disconnection between surface and substance, which is inherent in 21st Century society.

Helyar-Cardwell received his MFA from Wimbledon College of Art in 2008 and has continued to paint and create works from his studio in Hackney Wick, East London. Helyar-Cardwell has exhibited widely in London and was short-listed for the Celeste Prize for painting in 2009.
