Prince Varughese Thomas: The Light of Other Days

January 19 - February 16,2019

"Prince Varughese Thomas’ The Light of Other Days is a drawing series that intersects Thomas’ interests in news and journalism with his explorations into the process of grief and mourning in private and public contexts. Referencing print media, specifically images found in newspapers, the series of charcoal drawings are drawn as half-tone patterns that are influenced by various tragic events, including murder, violence, migration, terrorism, and environmental tragedies that have occurred around the world and speak to our times. From these original press photos, Thomas has distilled, fragmented, and restructured distinct moments that express painful loss in global terms that speak directly toward the state of the world."
