About Me
- TomHacker
- Los Angeles, CA, United States
- Painter, sculptor, illustrator, teacher and tennis player, Thomas Hacker was born in Minnesota where he studied painting and metal casting at the University of Minnesota. After some time off and some travel he returned to the University of Minnesota to earn a Masters of Education. He was lucky to find opportunity at Malibu High where he has been teaching both middle and high school arts. Thomas’s work comes from a variety of sources; he draws inspiration from the landscape, the human form and expressionistic painting. Thomas’ s earlier works were primarily oil and tended towards pure abstraction. His most recent works are a combination ink wash and pen. These works address issues of growth, death, interaction and feature more organic/humanlike forms. They are often done in diptych format to convey a sense of conversation, transition and the idea of differing perspectives. Feel free to contact me about my work. mr.thomas.hacker@gmail.com
Cast Metal
These works were done when I was an undergrad at the U of M. I don't do much sculpture anymore due to lack of facilities. I love the process, these pieces were done in 2005. This is a golem inspired bronze figure. I see him as the earth mover, the creator. He is always giving and represents strength. It was cast in a pair. One mounted to a hand carved wooden base, the other attached to a cast iron rock formation.
