ABOUT
Tom Duimstra
Born 1951, Grand Rapids, Mi.
Studied at University of California at Berkeley. Exhibiting work nationally and internationally since 1979. My work expands outward from a central point of minimalism, into a world of texture, color, and mark-making. The work communicates an artistic balance of receiving and giving, looking and responding, that is intended to draw viewers in and invite further contemplation. I seek to create a conversation between universal and personal visual language by incorporating elements of the everyday into my work. I start with a vague idea, and set sail. The end of the journey usually has nothing to do with the beginning, but it’s been a long, strange trip. The use of ubiquitous materials and discarded objects is important to my artistic process, which involves manipulating and presenting materials in new contexts. I am interested in investigating the ways in which aesthetic value and meaning are created and assigned, by both the artist and the viewer. These artifacts are representations of that exploration.
