Collection: Alex R.M. Thompson

Alex R.M Thompson's recent work unpacks the process of contemporary city building, drawing on the order/disorder of the construction site as its primary motif. The work deconstructs the familiar ubiquity of urban building, removing the necessary (and numerous) instruments of development from their regular contexts and orientations. Presented as a network of small components, each piece gestures towards the constant and overwhelming change in the city’s social structure, and the sense of alienation that this state can bring.

Thompson is an artist and printmaker, originally from Brantford, Ontario. He studied printmaking at the Ontario College of Art and Design University, where he was awarded the medal in his program upon graduation, and is currently studying for his MA in Printmaking at the University of Alberta. He has exhibited at The Power Plant, Art Toronto, Nuit Blanche, The Artist Project, and Abbozzo Gallery in Toronto, along with Studio Sixty Six in Ottawa and Glenhyrst Art Gallery in Brantford.
