Award-winning artist Tom Voyce is currently undertaking a residency in the Corban Estate Arts Centre Barrel Store space until the end of January 2019. Throughout the residency, Voyce will have access to the unique Corban Estate landscape with an abundance of inspiration for his contemporary landscape paintings.

Tom Voyce is a 29-year-old artist from the United Kingdom. Training in Fine Art at Aberystwyth University School of Art in Wales, Tom gained his Bachelor’s degree in 2011, specialising in drawing and painting. He completed a Masters degree shortly afterwards, allowing him to refine his practice while working and teaching at HE level, and included a visit to China in 2014 where he taught life drawing.

In 2017, Tom participated in the Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year project, where his powerful and distinctive landscapes thrilled the judges. Tom went on to win the competition and the prize of a £10,000 commission from the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London to paint the view from the legendary playwright Noel Coward’s home in Jamaica. Since then, Tom has produced a series of works based on his visit to Jamaica, as well as furthering his own practice of still life, interiors and other semi-abstract landscapes reflecting favourite subject matter; places of transit.

Tom will be completing a number of art residencies while here in New Zealand. His journey will then take him to cities across Canada and the US as well as the islands of Fiji . Tom has most recently completed a residency at the Otago Polytechnic School of Fine Art and will head south again in February 2019.

Tom will be teaching two workshops at Corban Estate. The first will be the Adult Weekend Workshop A Sense of Place this coming Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 November, where he will be teaching students to explore landscape painting concepts and techniques through the artist’s own personal response to their surroundings.

In January 2019, Tom will be tutoring the Summer School 2019 intensive 5-day workshop Place Particulars: Discoveries in Abstract Landscapes. Participants will be immersed in the painting process, using Corban Estate as the subject matter to push the boundary between abstract and figurative scenes. Working in their choice of painting media; watercolour, acrylic or oils, participants will produce a series of paintings over the week, from initial drawings and colour notes to finished layered artworks.
