Celestial Rhythms: Cosmos and Choreography in Contemporary Art: reflecting on notable international artists from the world's largest light festival in 2023
In the Studio: Thomas Allen
Thomas Allen, born in 1989, creates detailed dreamlike scenes that capture the fascinating allure of hypnagogia—the transitional state between being awake and falling asleep. His artwork explores the border between abstract and figurative, driven by rhythmic patterns that reflect the flow of time.
Based in the UK, Allen's practice spans studio work, site-specific projects, and research-driven conceptualization informed by sociological theory and diverse fields like renaissance foraging and contemporary food packaging.
