Tom Lang

Tom Lang is an Artist and Professor of Art at Webster University in St. Louis, Missouri, specializing in printmaking, drawing, and hand-papermaking. His practice critically examines the nature and social utility of images through material experimentation and conceptual inquiry.

His academic foundation includes:

• M.A. in Aesthetic Education from Ohio State University
• M.F.A. in Printmaking and Drawing from Ohio State University
• Advanced printmaking studies with S.W. Hayter and Krishna Reddy at Atelier 17 (Paris)

Lang's research integrates historical papermaking techniques with contemporary conceptual frameworks, exploring how images function across personal and social dimensions. His recent work processes traditional drawings into archival tapestries and letterpress pieces while investigating technology's role in meaning-making. International workshops demonstrate his commitment to sharing technical expertise in print media and papermaking, reflecting his belief that artistic practice thrives at the intersection of misunderstanding and insight.
