Lives and works in UK
Thomas Jenkins 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 day. The methods stem from interests in contemporary and historical photography, painting and sculpture.
The practice explores the limits of photography in contemporary society that questions what can be defined as a photograph. The photographs created are not intended to be understood, instead the work looks to create images that lack representation of the physical world and in turn demand to be deciphered, seen and experienced tethering emotions and immaterial concepts to the physical.
