Erin Rosalie Thomas is a multi-media figurative artist. Her work explores the discourse between how we connect through identity and body language, while engaging with contemporary ideals of femininity. Erin investigates interpersonal connections beyond our vanities.
Each figure is full of contention, giving subtle signs of communication through expression. Erin explains, “Growing up, I always saw identity as a form of communication and an everchanging process, constantly up for discussion. I often wonder if by focusing too much on our vanities, we don’t pay attention to the complexities that define us, or the interpersonal relationships that enrich us. The faces & figures in my work represent the irony of this liberation and condemnation, and the variety of attitudes we face for just existing.”
Erin studied BA Fine Art at Kingston School of Art, graduating in 2020. She has since developed her practise, recently winning the ronapainting prize at the Oxford Art Society 2024 open exhibition.
