Bill Thompson

Tool Box

In the exhibition "Tool Box", the American artist Bill Thompson claims a contemporary concept of beauty in which sculpture is no longer seen as a monument far from the public, but as a work that interacts with the viewer.

An exhibition that starts with a rectangular block of polyurethane that Thompson is capable of transforming until he releases the figures and silhouettes that emerge from his imagination. A process that begins with the artist drawing, cutting and polishing this industrial material to find the right shape. And concluding in curious organic shapes that he covered with several layers of car paint, achieving bright and polished colours: fuchsias, reds, violets, blues, greens...
