Andy Thomas
Synthetic Nature
Inspired by the beauty of nature and extensive travel to some of the world’s most ancient rainforests, Andy Thomas fuses together images of flora and fauna into evolved abstract forms. In his latest series of work to be exhibited at Kick Gallery Thomas presents a new suite of his intricately layered compositions of plants and animals that make a strong statement of technology’s impact on planet earth and how advancements in society are affecting the natural systems of life.
In recent years Thomas has begun to experiment with digital audio software, initiating a new branch of his practice. This new series of animated video installations visually represent the voices of nature and create an eerie environment of sound and light. Through this new path of artistic investigation Thomas once again finds a way to create works in which nature and technology combine.
