Tom Samek
Arriving in Tasmania from Czechoslovakia in the late 1960’s, Tom has become well known for his cooking (St. Andrews Inn, Prospect House and the Game Club) as well as his painting, murals and three dimensional cut outs.
His etchings particularly have intrigued people with their distinct themes, double meanings and black humour. The etchings are hand painted, sometimes in watercolour and sometimes in mixed media, with a limited edition usually of about 70.
Tom has completed a lot of public and private commissions ranging from set designs, sculptures, murals, illustrations and tapestry. He received much acclaim for the floor he designed and decorated for Meadowbank Winery, completed in late 2005. Having exhibited extensively in Tasmania, mainland Australia and occasionally overseas, Tom’s work is represented in public and private collections throughout Australia and overseas.
The etchings shown here are just a small representation of the work available. Every year Tom adds a few more to the collection, and uses these as a springboard for the development of larger works.
