The works in Jeremy Thomas' new exhibition "Structural Consciousness," on view April 5 through May 5, 2019, touch on the unseen structures of our world. Whether it is air or the molecules and atoms that invisibly create our visible world. The primary installation of sculptures comes from a new series, years in the making. These forms are Thomas’ artistic interpretations of the chemical structures of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine, and glutamate. Each piece, a separate part of the puzzle, interacts with the next – forming a whole that describes a larger, shifting balance of chemical interactions in the brain. Surrounding this installation are pieces from Thomas’ Air Paintings series. Vividly colored, with a startling clarity and luminous quality – like the sculptures, these pieces rely on air for their forms. Thomas drew wave-forms across the paper, overlaid with layers of paint, to which he applied compressed air to flare out and massage the painted shapes.
