back to overview

Jeremy Thomas was born in 1973 in Ohio, USA. He lives and works in Española, NM, USA.

The American artist welds together pieces of plate steel, which are then forged and expanded using pressurized air. The resulting amorphous forms are coated with synthetic powder to create a glossy surface in colors characteristic of machinery. For some time now he has also been applying iridescent lacquers that are found, for example, in cosmetic products like nail polish, as well as acryl or urethane compounds.

Bei einer Werkgruppe setzt Jeremy Thomas sich mit den chemischen Strukturen von Pigmenten auseinander. Ein Bespiel ist die Skulptur „Pigment White 6”, deren Form an die chemische Struktur von Titandioxyd (TiO2) erinnern soll. Um dies zu verdeutlichen wählt Thomas auch die dazu passende Farbe, nämlich Titanweiß aus.

Cotton works:
Even before Jeremy Thomas began developing his “Air Paintings” and “Wind Drawings,” he suspected that his true medium was not steel but air itself. His new series “Inflated Works” of stitched canvas has confirmed this suspicion. It was at the beginning of the pandemic that he began experimenting with can- vas. He liked the light ecological footprint of hemp fibers and organic cotton. He developed a new process to finish the objects using a greater variety of color than with steel. The new works are reminiscent of forms in nature; reatures of the deep sea, some glowing with phosphorescence; other creatures, erotic and sensuous, even curl around a corner. He calls them “Wall Pillows.”
