18 November 2009

For the 10th Anniversary of UK charity Youth Music, musicians photographed by Rankin were asked to create an original piece of artwork based on one of his iconic portraits of them. Tom is one the acts who "destroyed" a print, completely transforming it as shown above.

Says Tom of his creation, "I’m a very nervous subject when being photographed or interviewed… defensive. I wanted to make the reworked image bold, colourful and abstract. I love artists like Kandinsky, so I looked for inspiration there. It’s great to be able to take a photograph and stamp your own authority on it as a subject.”

You can bid for Tom's print on eBay until 21st November, by clicking here. The proceeds will all go towards Youth Music's work transforming the lives of children and young people through music.

All of the customised prints are on display at the Phillips De Pury at Albemarle St, London until 21st November (free entry).

Es genial poder transformar lo que uno siente a traves del arte,y una foto que al captar la imagen demuestra como tiene uno el alma , combinadas esas dos formas quedo una obra genial...Gracias por dar muestra de ello...

i'm so taken a aback by this art as a fellow artist myself i know how much planning goes into such a random piece of art. please tell me when your display is ready for the Tate modern. i hear there making space for it as i write.

Posted by hbrubout on 2010-01-13 23:40:55

i like the radiator effect. i can really see the bad day enthusiam that creeps through orange and yellow together. it offers such motavation to this winter atmospher.

Hi guys, just been to London, walked round looking for Albermarle st. then found the exhibition was not there but in Victoria !! jumped on a no 73 bus to Victoria, found the gallery near House of Fraser but Toms artwork not there !! What a let down but glad it made £1000 and the exhibition was really good so I will forgive you. Love Rita.

Posted by mari_cris_1995 on 2009-11-20 09:41:32

Wow, Tom!!!!!!!!!! This update almost gave us all a heart attack LOL!!! 3 main reasons: Firstly, the original Rankin photo is soooo stunning and powerful... There's something really special about it, maybe your fierce look, I don't know, it's just perfect... Rankin is a talented photographer, that's for sure, and the "model" is naturally gorgeous! Secondly... OMG... your artwork looks AMAZING!!!!!!! It's very eye-catching, creative, and intriguing... And the other thing that really took me by surprise was knowing that you also love Kandinsky's art!! He definitely is one of my all time favorite painters along with Mondrian, Paul Klee, Matisse, Van Gogh, and Fernand Léger! I love abstract/modern art so much... and I also love this kind of coincidence LOL. Congratulations on the artwork and on the initiative!!! Another great cause, you guys are so generous!!! xxoo from Brazil, Denise Yumi

This is really really cool. I wish I had the money to bid on this! Hope it sells for lots. :)

Posted by travelfish on 2009-11-20 05:27:50

Echoing flyingnelly's request: Postcards, or even posters. This is something I would actually not mind framing and putting on my wall (and it's not often I feel that way about artwork, so that's saying something!). Certainly a lot of Keane fans would buy it!!

Now I see I don't have to worry about my PS-elephant for the Elephant-parade in London, next year (as I already mentioned in my "comment" of the 2nd of November -Richard's photoblog-).

No, Johanna, you're not the only one that gets scared. That look is pretty unnerving, imo. Although it is an excellent photo. As for the artwork... lots of symbolism going on!! Intriguing. But I'm probably being too analytical. :P Anyway, I hope it goes for a super high amount for the cause!! Thanks for sharing. :)

Yes, it is a bold, abstract image of Tom´s face. But I think it is not yet a face. It is an expression of something, maybe of some feeling. And Tom can show his face because of it is perfect. I can also show my face- not so perfect as one of Tom, but it is absolutely "normal". I don´t want show it and it is a defference. I like more impressionism and impressionists , Monet, Manet , Renoir because of their ability to catch their feeling / very fleeting/ of the reality, then f.e. "Peinture Métaphysique"with its representative Giorgio Chirico and surrealisme, like an "outflow of dream to the realilty". "Because an intelligence was disregarded , it i was only a dream which makes us possible to be free."/ la Révolution Surréaliste"/The titles of Chirico´s pictures are very interesting, "Mystery of hour", "Secret and Melancholy of a street," "Mystery of prophecy" "Mystery of an autumnel evening" "Nostalgie of infinity".He felt lonely and aliented from the others, ...In any case Tom´s picture a la Kandinsky is very abstract, however I don´t understand why is his face destroyed there....

Wow that's brilliant Tom! The art is truly beautiful and sorry but I can't help but say that the original pic looks stunning! Love. Cris xxx.

Posted by Car0le-20 on 2009-11-18 20:06:12

The original is piercing, stunning. I love the reworked piece, apart from the pointy bit sticking in Tom's eye. Very creative. x

This inspires me so much. I'm an artist myself and this just gives me loads of inspiration. krista ♥

Tom's photo is a little bit dark, mysterious but lovely. The print "destroyed" is plenty of bright colours, very cool...it shows Tom's left eye and ear, nice image! Boys, good cause, as always. Paz, Regina

Posted by Regina Brz on 2009-11-18 18:57:01

Lovely artwork, very original, congratulations Tom. Great cause too, good luck!

Posted by Mihajasoa on 2009-11-18 18:47:19

I loved the work he did with his photo. Know? my first thought upon seeing your picture is: this boy is more handsome every second. the expression on his face is mysterious and profound. I hope you have a great offer. love from MEXICO.

Brilliant work Tommy. And I love that you still make your beautiful eye as the vocal piont of the artwork. I've never joined any fan club before in mylife - so, Keane's the first for me. I never thought that this would be so much fun. cheers, keke_jones. twitter.com/keke_jones facebook.com/keke_jones

i think tom gets more and more good looking each time i see him! hes so handsome!

Posted by hollybaba22 on 2009-11-18 18:06:37

Great work, Tom !!! i love it, and the original photo is fantastic

Posted by kori on 2009-11-18 18:00:14

Potentially silly question, but was this artwork done by hand as in physically cutting and pasting, or was it created via software? Looks really cool, and the unfamiliar "fierce" expression is nice to see! It's so awesome to see art created by one's idol. Would definitely love to see some artwork by Tim and Richard as well! Go Keane!

Posted by finshi on 2009-11-18 17:54:42

Great expression of art !!!!!!!!! Good luck guys, anywhere !!! I love you, Tom !!!!!!!!! Raissa. Brazil - São Paulo.

I love it ♥! Well done Tom ;)! @Maayani : Oooh yes great idea :D! I love hard puzzles, but they're often so boring that I never finish them... This piece of artwork is so abstract, and colourful. Without a doubt, that would make a perfect puzzle :P!

Posted by xunknown7 on 2009-11-18 17:22:56

Love it! Wish I could afford to bid for it!

Posted by suered on 2009-11-18 17:16:39

I love that lovely green eye!! :) so sweet...!! and I love the colours on it!

Posted by Jazy on 2009-11-18 17:11:52

oh, this is great, although I like the original more but as this is for a charity-thing ,it is a great idea - jana

@km.com: Christmas Gift idea: have the 'destroyed' version out as a PUZZLE - 1000 pieces!!!! Man that would be fun! Thoughts boardies?

Posted by Maayani on 2009-11-18 16:44:06

The picture is awesome and the "destroyed version" is even better. Great job! ♥♥ xx Brazil.

Posted by Dani on 2009-11-18 16:01:56

am I the only 1, who gets scared? well, that´s my 1st impression. But, the photo is quite good shot, I like the light/shadow-thing.

Posted by Johanna on 2009-11-18 15:46:11

something tells me this will go waaaaaay out of the price range of most of us fans, which is a massive shame, but then again, i'm sure it will raise a lot of money for the cause xx

Posted by emmakate3 on 2009-11-18 15:43:46

1. Lovely 2. hmmm...Why do I feel like we are getting a lot of requests for money from km.com recently..? We still love you, just sayin'....

Posted by Maayani on 2009-11-18 15:39:36

Wassily Kandinsky is one of my favorites! I'm in love with Kandinsky. I identify a lot with your work. Colors, shapes, movement ... Kandinsky used to make an analogy between painting and music. I love his paintings. This work is especially beautiful.Tom you are a man really very special and with great sensitivity.Thank you very much!! Lots of Love & Artistic Kisses to you. Always,Rachel ...♥

Posted by RACHEL-RIO-BRAZIL on 2009-11-18 15:39:25

aaaaww Well done Tom!! I really love it. And I love tom's picture as well!! He looks georgeous as usual... And the artwork is great, congrats to Tommy!! I'd love to have that piece of art, but i'm afraid it's gonna cost a lot of money :( lucky the person who will buy it Lots of love from Argentina

Posted by amada on 2009-11-18 15:06:39

good one Tom!!! definitively Kandinsky was one of the brillant minds, who makes in the art whit figures and symmetry a magnificent work.....and you Tom always so lovely! xOxO.m!

Posted by esom on 2009-11-18 14:54:08

DAMN you're HOT! Why destroy such a beautiful photo :P?

Posted by emmia on 2009-11-18 14:50:38

Great !.. KANDINSKY is so modern, his work arts are so decorative to hang up in an immense loft with large bays leading into the heart of the countryside, a wood flooring, huge cozy sofas and KEANE's music on the air !... Actually I hate being photographed too because I've got a perfectly asymmetrical face that makes me look like a PICASSO... Happily, it's not so clearly visible at naked-eye or at first sight but the lens is pitiless and then maybe this kind of art could be an easy way out... Good idea ! Ok, like everyone I've got some pics that are not so bad but I hate any kind of cameras that's why I admire your self-sacrificing before the fame and some obligations for love of music... Keep going... We love that !... Or then somewhere only we know (song of the decade...let's hope !) you love that, too !... Tom, here you've got a hard look and rather scary but a beautiful eye and this poster is nice, anyway !!!

Posted by Agnes(Fr-15/07/2007) on 2009-11-18 14:31:36

Posted by mislynny on 2009-11-18 13:13:29

"Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil"?? You could read all sorts of things into this great re-interpretation of your photograph. Absolutely smashing job! Well done! You just may have a second career as a collage artist! Good luck on the bidding...a very worth cause. ..Sherry, Michigan, USA.

Posted by Sherry W. on 2009-11-18 13:04:08

Kandinsky, eh? Can I use this picture on my blog about Keane art? (as for any other artist, I'm asking permission to show a work). The blog link is on my forum banner (...I don't really want to spam here lol)! If you ask my opinion...I like it. It looks like Tom's mind is both free and dangerous. Lots of white spaces but it's framed...bright colors but only dots...it looks like aboriginal art! I like yellow very much lol. But this singer's face, it "cuts"! And his mouth is hard to find. Funny when you count all the times Tom said he talks too much! Oh and I can see ink spots! Mmmh...

Posted by Earisu on 2009-11-18 12:56:53

HELOISA, ISA FROM BRASIL, SAO PAULO ✩✩✩✩YESSSS, Kandinsky is really great, is one of my favourite painters as well. The piece of Tom, loved it! LOTS OF LOVE TO MY FAVOURITE BAND! XXXX

Posted by isa on 2009-11-18 12:28:43

love the picture, you look a little bit like scared or fearful of something, you have a very strong look. hummm I'm not to good at modern art, I couldn't understand them at all. But I like your art work is very colorful and you show like a central piece your eye which gives a strength and personality to your work. humm, those triangles reminds me to the perfect symmetry albun cover ^_^

Posted by mena on 2009-11-18 12:26:07

Tooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great work!!!! I love it! and I love you!!!!!
