Opening Reception With the Artist - May 5, 5 -7 PM
The works in this exhibition touch on the unseen structures of our world. Whether it is air - we can't see it, yet it connects us all, a matrix between objects, within our lungs - or the molecules and atoms that invisibly create our visible world. The primary installation of sculptures comes from a new series, years in the making. These forms are Thomas' artistic interpretations of the chemical structures of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine, and glutamate. Each piece, a separate part of the puzzle, interacts with the next - forming a whole that describes a larger, shifting balance of chemical interactions in the brain. Surrounding this installation are pieces from Thomas' Air Paintings series. Vividly colored, with a startling clarity and luminous quality - like the sculptures, these pieces rely on air for their forms. Thomas drew wave-forms across the paper, overlaid with layers of paint, to which he applied compressed air to flare out and massage the painted shapes.
Whether it is a brilliant blue humped and finned sculpture or an intense yellow painting of layered edges and waves, Thomas' art is the tangible result of wonder. It is proof that the world is worth query. That exploration and experience have value. That it matters how we see. (More)
