TOM CHAMBER'S USE OF VISUAL LANGUAGE, ETC

THESE THINGS STAND OUT TO ME:
- generally a high saturation, strong tonal contrast and a balanced contrasting colour scheme. Some are analogous, but the generally gist is contrasting
- features human and animal subjects
- uses animals as a way to underpin human emotion and values
- photomontage (uses a composition of images to create relationships that would not appear together naturally ... ie. a girl and a deer)
- dreamlike, fairytale, surrealism (to an extent... i think this can be debatable in some works)
- anonymity (in most of this pieces that feature girls)
- making a statement about adolescence or fragility
- use of space (foreground, middleground and background)
- use of colour
- use of movement (in many of his works)
