"Untitled," detail from installation: Leona Drive Project: "de-surfacing"
Artist: Thomas Blanchard
Medium: Chromira Print on Dibond
Dimensions: 12" x 12"

Thomas Blanchard is a photo-based artist living in Toronto. His artwork addresses the hidden nature of commodities found within our domestic lives. His most recent projects involve the dichotomy between the psychological comfort of the modern home and the often toxic realities found within those intimate spaces that often go unnoticed. Although the motivation behind his art originates from his interest in the relationship between the political economy and how it affects our health and the environment, he is equally interested in how aesthetics of art can serve as a portal to an experience beyond conscious thought.
