Blair Thurman

Introduction

“LIFE IS CHARACTERISED BY VIBRATION. WITHOUT VIBRATION, THERE IS NO LIFE. THE WORLD IN ITS ENTIRETY OBEYS THIS LAW. AS INDIVIDUALS, WE FORM COMPLETE ENTITIES, OUR ORGANISMS ARE OPERATED BY A SINGLE ENGINE AND THIS ENGINE’S DEGREE OF SOPHISTICATION DETERMINES HOW MUCH WE CAN VIBRATE, AND THEREFORE FEEL”

– BLAIR THURMAN IN CONVERSATION W/ DREAM IDEA MACHINE, 2017

Blair Thurman’s (b. 1961 in New Orleans, US) practice connects diverse cultural and symbolic facets of Americana with Pop Art and abstract geometric art of the 50s and 60s. Drawing on influences such as his passion for collecting model cars and other personal imagery, Thurman’s shaped canvases exist on the periphery of both painting and sculpture.
