BELGIAN  ARTIST

BORN 1979, LIVES AND WORKS IN BELGIUM

 

Thomas Gromas (b. Belgium) is a contemporary artist who transforms language into sculptural and relief works. His art explores the intersections of words, identity, and society, creating layered pieces that both captivate and provoke reflection.

The words he selects—often ironic, playful, or thought-provoking—act as mirrors for the viewer. They confront us with our desires for recognition and authenticity, prompting reflection on what we consider ‘real’ or ‘true.’

Gromas employs color, typography, and materiality to make emotions tangible. His sculptures and wall objects appear visually engaging at first glance, yet carry a deeper commentary on the contradictions of modern life.

While his work aligns with the tradition of conceptual text art, it stands out for its accessible visual language and balance between aesthetic appeal and conceptual depth. Thomas Gromas’ art invites viewers to look, smile, and think.
