Thomas Olze/ Collage Art

Tomas lives and works in Tiefenbronn, in the Stuttgart area of Germany. He is a self-taught artist, has been working as a freelance painter and installation artist since 2011. Since 2019, he has also worked as a curator, serving primarily as co-curator for the institutional exhibition space A.K.T. (www.akate.de), which focuses on socio-political themes.

Since 2017, he has been continuously working on the Nexus series, a body of work consisting primarily of collages and drawings. In this series, he addresses pressing sociopolitical issues, seeking to visualize the multiple, often difficult-to-trace connections and causalities that shape them. The works do not offer direct answers—something he sees as impossible given the immense complexity underlying all existing topoi. Instead, viewers are invited to explore and uncover their own interpretations and contexts, perhaps even discovering connections he himself had not anticipated during the creation process.
