As hectic as NYC was we got a chance to join our friends at Nepenthes NYC & Thomas Hooper for the opening reception of Origins of Solitude. Nepenthes NYC was packed full of local NYC industry heads & international buyers from around the globe. It was cool to see all the “birds of a feather” flock together. We are excited to say we ended up buying the three pieces seen here and stoked to have them in the shop after the exhibition closes at Nepenthes NYC.

Born in Hastings East Sussex, Thomas Hooper studied Drawing at The London Institute of Art & Design. Thomas is a multi-faceted painter, illustrator, tattoo artist and an editor for Sang Bleu Magazine, mixing orthodox and unorthodox painting techniques, organic textures with computer-enhanced patterns, accidental stains with geometrical entities. His pictorial work, although directly complementary to his skin-based work, sails far from the world of tattooing to explore a very medium-orientated abstraction. Thomas currently is based in NYC & tattoos at the famed Saved Tattoo in Brooklyn.
