TOM CARR
Tom Carr passionately explores natural spaces, architecture and three dimensionality. He visualizes his thoughts, which are inspired by the equilibrium of elements and their perspective. Carr uses pure materials in their natural entity and creates a sculpture in a space and time of a particular moment. Five elements comprise Carr’s designs: water, fire, wood, air and metal. Through any density of light and shadow, any of these components symbolically changes the structure of the artwork adding or subtracting from the entity. Floating on the live particles of their location, all Carr’s art pieces become a part of the chosen place. They become that vision you have always seen as if Carr’s signature was engraved through every creation on location.
Tom Carr was born in Tarragona, Spain in 1956. He has a Masters of Arts in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona. He earned a PhD in Fine Arts and has been a professor at the Escola Superior de Diseño y Arte, Barcelona since 1981. Carr has also been a visiting professor at the School of Visual Arts in New York. His installations, sculptures and digital art are found all over the world. He is internationally recognized for his installation at the Miró Foundation for Espai 10 in 1981.
