Tomas Co is a contemporary artist who lives and works in Hancock. He started working in watercolor and sumi-e ink and has expanded to include a variety of media, including sculptures, metal-strip drawings and digital paintings.
In this exhibition he approaches Jungian ideas of "Archetypes" and "Complexes". In his words, “…this collection of art attempts to express my observations of, and reactions to, our progressively unsustainable world.” For each piece Tomas has included a QR code link to a song that inspired the work so that viewers can listen while viewing the work for a deeper effect.
His art subjects include philosophical, emotional, and political observations and reactions to the changing world. Overall, he contends that his main artistic motivation is to satisfy a need for personal expression and a need to make sense of the human conditions. With this exhibition he invites everyone to the conversation. Please join us for the opening reception on Thursday, May 4 from 6-7:30pm.
This exhibition is supported in part by a grant from the Michigan Arts and Culture Council with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts. The Copper Country Community Arts Center is located at 126 Quincy Street in Hancock. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday 11-6pm and Saturdays 10-2pm.
