It’s time to talk about perspectives and perceptions with artist Thomas Deininger. Deininger, whose art is a direct response to consumer culture and a call to action toward social-spiritual responsibility and evolution, will be joined in conversation by The Church co-founder and The Ark curator, Eric Fischl. The two will discuss Deininger’s work Pigeon on the Giacometti, 2024, which is included in the exhibition and will dive into Deininger’s creative process, his use of found objects, and how his work advances his values. Following the discussion the audience is invited to a Q&A with the artist and curator.
To view Deininger’s perspective-bending sculpture, that changes upon where you are standing in relation to it, stop by during our exhibition hours, Thursday – Monday, 11 AM – 5 PM. For more information about The Ark, including exhibition dates, please visit our exhibition page here.
ABOUT THOMAS DEININGER
Thomas Deininger (b. 1970) Boston, Ma. graduated from Salve Regina University with the Art Departmental award in 1992. He spent his twenties traveling the world painting and surfing. It was during these explorations that Tom developed thoughts about American consumerism and the negative environmental impacts associated with these lifestyles and habits. His large-scale mosaics, sculptures, and installations were a response to the ways in which consumer cultures threaten our natural environment and undermine the value of our spiritual and social engagement. He works across a wide variety of mediums and styles and has exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the world. He lives with his wife and four children in Bristol, Ri. and works out of his permaculture and animal rescue farm studio in Tiverton. He can be found on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/tdeininger/ and is represented by several galleries such as Bernice Steinbaum and Ethan Cohen gallery.
