This body of work interrogates ideas of the physiological ramifications of built and natural environments
Thom Buchanan’s practice sweeps across drawing, painting, performance, video, installation and monumental public works to interrogate where architecture, time and the body collide. His trademark cityscapes layer charcoal, acrylic and oil mark-making into rectilinear grids, fractal vanishing points and shifting horizons that hover between utopian possibility and dystopian unease. By exposing the physiological and psychological weight of built environments, Buchanan invites viewers to step inside elastic worlds where streets stretch, memories echo and futures feel both imminent and unstable.
