Tom Chambers_

Born: 1947

Hometown: Nocona

Based in: Austin

Tom R. Chambers is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the intersection of digital media and traditional artistic movements. His creative endeavors with Digital Suprematism and Geometric Abstraction reflect his deep engagement with the principles of form, structure, and the dynamic potential of modern technology. Drawing inspiration from early 20th-century pioneers like Kazimir Malevich, Chambers translates the aesthetic language of Suprematism and abstraction into the digital realm, creating visually striking compositions that blend historical art movements with contemporary techniques.

Through his innovative use of geometric shapes, bold color palettes, and spatial relationships, Chambers reinterprets the utopian ideals of abstraction in the context of a digital age. His work challenges viewers to reconsider the boundaries between art and technology, offering a fresh perspective on the enduring relevance of geometric abstraction in a world increasingly shaped by digital culture.

The idea of "the pixel as geometric abstraction" presents an intriguing way of viewing digital pixels beyond their function as the smallest unit of a digital image. It treats the pixel as a fundamental geometric entity—typically a square, rectangle, or other uniform shape—that can be used to explore the abstraction of form, space, and meaning in digital or visual art.
