Have you tried phone sex? Yes, but it was too big (2020) Painting by Tp Hardisty

Tp Hardisty is a contemporary British artist. TP Hardisty's core tenet of creatively reinventing the everyday has quickly established him as one of the UK's most intriguing emerging talents, the pioneer of an expression that provides strong and compelling new perspectives to the obscure and unseen through the abstract transformation of everyday objects and observations.

In each TP Hardisty artwork there hides, beneath the simplicity of the product, the essence of art: ideas, an ability to precisely use the product, and a foresight that not many people possess. So much so, that a lot of the ability and talent of TP Hardisty can remain hidden to the casual observer. They do not see past the ‘the paint’. In most cases of course there is no paint, this being replaced by everyday objects, becoming the essence of the artist’s medium. This medium then has to be used, like paint, in a way that brings out more than the sum of its parts. What at first glance, can remain hidden, is the precision of the making, the interactions of the objects, both with themselves and with outside forces, the reflections and the movements within, all of which are just some of the key elements to understanding the artist.

His recent exhibitions include the London Art Fair, Art Miami, Art Palm Beach, Art Wynwood, Art Monaco as well as Art Southampton in New York. His works are in private collections and institutions across the globe, including the UK, USA, France, Switzerland, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Germany, Sweden, Lebanon and the Philippines.
