THOMAS DEN ENGELSMAN - OSTRAHOP (AND OTHER PLANETS IN MY UNIVERSE)

Venue: Tanks Arts Centre

Thomas Den Engelsman - Ostrahop (and other planets in my universe) image
There is a universe of planets and the creatures who inhabit them that has grown inside the imaginative head of Thomas Den Englesman. How they get in there is a process.

What began as an exercise in exploring characters in popular culture, suddenly became something else altogether when Thomas abandoned everything he knew and replaced it with his own invented mythology.

Thomas’s works begin as pencil drawings in a sketch pad, which he then photographs, uploads to his computer, and renders, colours and textures to produce bizarre digital artworks. Along the way, planets and species receive names, back stories emerge, and environmental eco-systems evolve.

Don’t miss this debut solo exhibition by a local emerging artist whose work is truly other-worldly.
