"For Tom Hammick, prints and paintings have equal importance. Each process feeds the other… Although Hammick’s images have sometimes been defined as stemming from a particularly European tradition…he is also influenced by looking at traditional of art outside Western culture: Japanese print and film, Chinese scroll painting and Indian miniatures, amongst other things. " Nigel Frank, writing on Hammick’s ‘Chinese Dress’, in British Prints from the Clifford Chance Art Collection at the Sir John Soane's Museum, London 2014.
His work is held in various public and private collections worldwide, including The British Museum, London; Yale Centre for British Art, Deutsche Bank; De Beers; ING Barings; Arthur Anderson; British Arts Council and The Art Gallery of Nova Scotia.
