Christopher Marion Thomas / Artist statement /
310-940-9421 / c.m.thomas@hughes.net
My work aspires to fuse beauty and substance into a union that is purposeful, contemplative and designed to teach, encourage and provoke. Technically my art is a multilayered, mixed media combination of painting, symbolism, and text; while conceptually being visual parables, revealing deeper meanings to those who can discern them.
For me, truly great art is both technically and conceptually engaging; all technique without a solid concept leads to empty “pretty pictures”, while all conceptual consideration without approachable technique, leads to utter confusion. My art seeks to unify the two and to speak to the hearts of everyday people.
Ultimately I am here to elevate Christian art and to add to its rich history of visual narrative, while speaking in a contemporary voice. Both sound technique, and engaging concepts are inseparably fused in my work. They assist me in expressing ideas that have the power to sincerely engage the hearts and minds of my audience, that is why my work continually seeks to marry the two.
