Celestine Thomas

‘As a person comes back to visit old toys, with a new narrative and perspective, manipulating them in different ways, could be similar or very different, I too shall do the same.’ - Celestine Thomas

Join us for a reflective and forward-looking exploration of Celestine Thomas's artistic journey in "Reimagined Forms." This unique exhibition invites you to revisit her past works through a fresh lens as she reinterprets her creative legacy and looks toward the future.

Reimagined Forms is more than just an exhibition; it's a personal exploration by Celestine Thomas into the evolution of her art practice. In this exhibition, Thomas revisits her past works, viewing them through a new perspective shaped by her ongoing creative journey. The exhibition features a curated selection of her sculptures and prints, revealing how her approach to these mediums has evolved over time. As she shifts her focus more fully towards her art practice, Thomas is re-examining her accomplishments, considering the potential of past works, and envisioning new directions. This exhibition is an opportunity to witness her artistic journey as she embraces the future while honouring the past.

Celestine Thomas' art is rooted in her lifelong fascination with colour, further fueled by her experience as a person with dyslexia.

Thomas channels this dynamic language into paintings and as someone who finds it more accessible to express themselves through colour than traditional language. Celestines' semi-abstract artworks are visually striking and offer a unique insight into a child-like and imaginative world.

Aside from paintings, Celestine also creates sculptures using found materials. Thomas' playful and whimsical sculptures continue to explore the themes of childhood and creativity, showcasing the ability to transform discarded objects into meaningful works of art.

Celestine encourages us to embrace childhood's resourceful, playful, and colourful nature and appreciate everyday objects' beauty and creativity that often go unnoticed. Her unique perspective and approach to art inspire us to see the world with fresh eyes and to find joy and wonder in the simplest things.
