Tom Speedy – major early markers, all signals lit

Tom Speedy graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone (DJCAD), University of Dundee this year (2025). He was nominated by his tutor for our Emerging Art Prize and awarded the prestigious RSA John Kinross Scholarship.

He has already held two solo exhibitions and been selected for RSA New Contemporaries in Edinburgh (2026).

His painting Adrift was chosen to promote the Degree Show (24 May – 1 June), and featured on flags across the campus. Shortly afterward graduation, Speedy was invited to show in Don’t Look Back at Unit London during Frieze week – the exhibition included Tracey Emin, Gavin Turk, Polly Morgan, Richard Billingham, Thomas J Price, Richard Wilson, George Shaw, Mark Titchner, Caroline Achaintre, and other significant figures in contemporary art.

These are major early markers of recognition and momentum, and for this reason Speedy moves directly into our Masters section.

We have four paintings by Tom Speedy available. Any questions, as always, please let me know.
