Hamish Tobias: I’ve Been Curious About Daffodils Lately

Hamish Tobias is a multidisciplinary artist working primarily in drawing and painting, with a growing interest in sculpture. His work examines the ways we fixate on aspects of our appearance that others never notice, magnifying perceived flaws to monstrous proportions in our minds.

Through his practice, he challenges conventional beauty standards and distorted self-image, exploring the effects of warped self-perception on mental health. By creating a dialogue between opposites and evoking a sense of precariousness through imbalance and contrasting materials, he seeks to convey these ideas with greater intensity.
