Tomasio: Abstractions of a Metaphorical World at Castleton Bank Gallery Jan. 21 - March 11
Castleton, VT (01/21/2023) — Thomas Hacker, aka Tomasio, creates robust energetic acrylic paintings that explode off the canvas in every imaginable hue. These multilayered works ask the viewer to look into themselves to find the organization and abstract forms shifting in the pigment.
Tomasio's work is on display at the Castleton University Bank Gallery from Jan. 21 - March 11. An artist reception will be held at the gallery on Feb. 4 from 5:30-7:30 p.m.
Tomasio's creative work ranges from music, poetry, sculpture, and fashion. Working at Spring Lake Ranch as a peer support specialist, Tomasio helps people in the wood shop, collaborates on artistic endeavors, helps ranchers unravel problems, and plays piano for the community of Shrewsbury.
"Painting is a process whereby I channel sensory information leading to internalization, retention, interpretation, analyzation, and finally abstraction. I am able to then reintroduce this stimulus back onto a canvas in creative form," Tomasio said.
