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. ‘Evenfall 1’ shows the black and white image of a woman’s head and shoulders in profile. The bottom half of the portrait from the woman’s lips, all the way to the edge of the print is awash with electric blue, which had been faded gently in, like an ombre dye. The result is bold, graphic and beautiful a piece that invites you to simply surrender and gaze.
