new works

New Works is a solo exhibition of paintings and light works at The Hole's Bowery space. It is the second solo show at the gallery by Nick Thomm, an Australian multi-disciplinary visual artist born in Melbourne in 1988, known for his hyper-color spectral paintings and immersive digital installations. The installation places color on parade across all corners of the space, with glowing, glossy paintings alongside lightbox works that bounce colored light onto the viewer. Taking cues from the California Light and Space movement, contemporary design and car culture, Thomm overwhelms and intrigues through hidden light sources, protective resin, slick printing and surreptitiously smooth paint.
