Shapes and Adventures: Paintings by Tom Cross

Tom Cross was born in Oxford and studied painting and ceramics at Oxford School of Art in the 1960s. His working life was spent as a freelance illustrator and lecturer until retirement.

On his work, Cross explained, "By concentrating primarily on the three elements, colour, shape and composition and taking time over my planning and execution, I attempt to create paintings that provoke thoughtful contemplation but intrigue, engage and excite. They appear simple but provide continued interest as repeated viewings reveal more about the image over time".

The exhibition will be displayed at the Florey Room and Private Dining Room and is open to the public from 15 April to 3 May 2019, subject to College commitments. Visitors are advised to ring the Lodge on 01865 274100 beforehand.
