Robert Thomas b. 1975

Robert Thomas is a visual artist currently working out of Bucks County, PA. Thomas's artistic work is varied and is presented in multiple mediums such as paintings, sculptures and videos. Graduating in 1997 from the School of Visual Arts began an editorial path that led to publications like Andy Warhol's Interview magazine, Nylon, The New York Times magazine and Surfing magazine. This influence can be seen in his work with his use of type and reference to commercial art. The self-described “obsessive” about design and typography, Thomas uses bold colors and radical typefaces, evocative of early racing posters, and this body of work also acts as an homage to a culture which inspires the artist. 

 

The Robert Thomas Project inaugural show "Blurred Lines" is the product of a decade-long exploration of vintage motorcycle/car racing and the culture around it. “I've always been interested in thrill seekers, risk takers, the ones who never yawn. In my opinion, people who race motorcycles and cars are right at the top of that list,” says Thomas. He believes that there is little delineation between commercial and fine art, which is where the concept and name of “Blurred Lines” comes from.
