A Western painter and sculptor, Ann Thomson composes her canvases by blending paint with salvaged materials from industrial society—wires, paper, and other found objects. She also combines pictorial elements with lettering. These unlikely alliances result in works of great energy, aiming to reveal the very essence of matter in all its depth.
Ann Thomson’s highly gestural painting and the strength of her colors make her work a true hymn to materiality. The combination of abstract, surrealist, and expressionist elements heightens the lyrical quality of her art.
