PURSUIT OF JOY - SOLO SHOW - LONDON

TOMAS GITTINS

We’re excited to announce Tomas Gittins’ first solo show with us, opening next month.

The exhibition “Pursuit of Joy” will feature 10+ new works and is presented in collaboration with Salomon Sportstyle, who will be offering an exclusive limited-edition giveaway available exclusively to attendees on the night.

Tomas Gittins is a Brazilian-English artist based in Manchester (b.1996), he is one of the leading voices in a new wave of UK artists redefining the art scene from the ground up. Rather than seeking validation from the traditional white-wall gallery world, this movement thrives in the streets, across social media, and in the spaces where culture is actually happening. It’s raw, unfiltered, and deeply connected—not just to local communities in the UK but to a global network of artists pushing the boundaries across different cultures.

1 / 3

Tomas brings a bold, rebellious energy to every piece, blending street art, pop culture, and raw emotion into a distinct visual language. His work is instantly recognisable—thick black outlines, vibrant colour blocking, and a balance between controlled precision and chaotic expression. There’s a playfulness to his style, but also an underlying tension, as if his characters and compositions are caught between nostalgia and disruption.

Whether working on canvas, large-scale murals, or mixed media pieces, he thrives in that sweet spot between fine art and street culture—where high and low art collide.

Beyond the conventional artworks, Tomas has made a seamless transition into the fashion world, collaborating with major global brands such as Fanatics, Umbro, Adidas, Salomon, and more. His ethos centers around spreading joy and growth, using his artwork to infuse positivity and energy across a variety of mediums.
