Thomas Jenkins

"Thomas Jenkins (b. 1992) is a visual artist working with photographic processes. His work explores colour and abstraction to question what is defined as a photograph in the modern Age. The methods stem from interests in contemporary and historical photography, painting and sculpture. The photographs I create are not intended to be understood but to be felt, experienced and seen. There is no intention of depicting the physical world. My processes aim to create discord within the traditional photographic processes. I take inspiration from previous artistic movements and most importantly jazz, to create a method of spontaneity directly related to the materials which result in unpredictable images that are dislocated from the tangible world."
