Green House Effects
2020
Acrylic and raw materials on canvas
30.5cm x 40.5 cm
Thomas’s “Green House effects” is made of bamboo and acrylic paint. Living on earth depends on the sustainability of our planet. Sharing happiness before economic growth, and setting a world standard for environmental preservation are important.
This artwork began with a gift of a mini Bamboo planting cutting. The bamboo reminds us that plants help to absorb high levels of CO2 and aid the reduction in harmful greenhouse gases. Bamboos are brilliant scavengers. The roots don't grow deeper than two feet and can quickly absorb rich nutrients. Many rural areas are badly with soil erosion and the issue is getting worse. During the rainy seasons, clumps of bamboo help to slow the flow and reduce the chances of flooding.
[About the artist] Thomas Doyle
Thomas’s explorative art practice is concerned with achieving true self actualisation where the artistic process or journey is just as important as the finished product. Influenced by the Impressionists and Surrealists, Thomas enjoys accessing his subconsciousness and being led by this flow to create works with a unique design, mood and story, and a safe and gentle depth.
Thomas explores the tactile organic nature of raw fibres alongside patterned mandalas and grids representing the entwined forces of humanity and the environment. Objects such as leaves are pressed and tell their own story of abstraction. With insightful discipline Thomas adds to his personal growth story by making work everyday unlocking new skills and thoughts.
Thomas has studied at the Brisbane Institute of Art, Access Arts, Footprints Inc. and Art From The Margins. He regularly exhibits with Art From The Margins and has a current showing at St Andrews Hospital Brisbane.
