Jesse Thomas
American, 1970
lives and works in Edmonton, Canada
Incorporating a number of references to current affairs, broadcast media and art history, Thomas' compositions create narratives on contemporary socio-political situations. The combination of different elements in makes for a subtly surrealist atmosphere, breaking down the barrier between interior and exterior landscapes, and by juxtaposing unexpected objects.
"These [images] provide an arena in which I explore the arc of western pictorial form and thought. Their narrative is both literary and technical as the human activity depicted interacts with formal and material considerations."
