Thomas Hodges
Thomas is an award winning and internationally acclaimed photographic artist of British origin, currently residing in Italy. He has a unique artistic style, which he terms "Imaginistic", and in December 2006, established the Art Movement "Imaginism", primarily to accommodate his own imagery.
Although Thomas has a varied portfolio of work, he is inspired by female beauty, capturing the sensuality and sexuality of woman, which remains his principal subject matter. His artistic portrayal of "the nude" has now gained international recognition, and Thomas has works in private and public collections world-wide and has exhibited extensively on an international basis in both solo and group exhibitions. He has also received numerous international awards for his work, including: the Black & White Spider Awards, the International Colour Awards Masters Cup and the International Photographic Awards (IPA-Lucie Awards).
Thomas is currently working on no less than seven publications, two of which are scheduled for late 2009. In conjunction with the release of these publications, he is planning an extensive exhibition programme during the coming 24 months, which will include both physical and virtual presentation of his works, also incorporating music and poetry associated to the publications in question.
Aside from producing collectable photographic art, Thomas has also ventured into the field of interior design, and fashion design, working in collaboration with numerous designers and interior architects, he fusions his work on to clothing, furnishings and interior decorations, using a variety of materials.
Thomas has many gallery representatives (please e-mail if you require specific details for your Country), and is also represented commercial by Artists and Creative's in New York City (www.artistsandcreatives.com), primarily working in the fashion and beauty sectors. His images are also licensed for editorial and advertising purposes via the internationally renowned stock agency "Gallery Stock" (www.gallerystock.com), who are based in New York City and London.
Artist’s Statement:
My principal focus is on the creation of images which I define as "imaginistic". Be it the beauty of the female form or that of an architectural monument. Such images will leave your imagination to complete the picture. You will see (or not see) as much (or as little) as you so desire. Your own imagination is primarily the key to your own personal interpretation of much of my work.
