Jody Thomas is a Bristol based artist, working since the late 1980s, who ranks amongst the likes of Inkie, Cheo and Bansky. Thomas considers himself an ‘aerosol artist’ rather than strictly ‘Graffiti’, taking the spray medium to new levels. Drawing inspiration from fashion and film, Thomas creates prints of strong graphic character, often employing a film noir aesthetic in his female portraiture. ‘Aequus’ depicts a woman in black and white, her head which fills the print tilted to the side, a look of anguish across her face. The beauty of the image lies in the pools of shadow that Thomas has created using the soft texture of aerosol art, and the final result is both compelling and haunting in its graphic, hyper real style.
