Tom de Pekin

Tom de Pekin is an artist, illustrator, painter and filmmaker. He loves to reactivate pictures, whether they are private, anonymous or the property of a shared culture, to bring them together in a personal archive that he enjoys exploring, unpacking and using in all its forms. By confronting his gouache or pencil interpretations with the pictures that inspired him, Tom articulates the meta-desires that they provoke, and the flow of feelings that bonds him to them. He tries to bring to life the space that might slip between the two, sketching a sort of geography of our imaginary spaces.

In 2024, he participated in the Paris Ass Book Fair at Le Palais de Tokyo, and the "Queer Rising" event at CIAM – La Frabique, where he presented "Chiens à fleur de peau", a collaboration with Blan.Bek.
