How it all started
The Artist
A multidisciplinary artist from Zion, Illinois, Thomas Mosley truly believes that a human being is capable of any and everything they fully put their mind to. With the same principles of hard work, commitment, and discipline that were taught through sports at a young age, Thomas, a self taught artist, learned how to paint with oil and acrylic during his college years. His earliest works however, date back to high school when he won his very first art competition with a small work created with oil pastels, inspired by Picasso's "Man with Guitar".
After graduating from North Carolina A&T in 2021, Thomas transitioned out of being a Division 1 college athlete and into the new discipline of artistry. Thomas’s artwork creates a fusion between neo expressionism and the daily struggles of African-Americans in the United States of America.
Having a career in government, Thomas fully understands the dichotomy of being a team player for the betterment of society while also wanting to express individuality, a struggle that is reflected in his work and felt by millions of people on a daily basis while operating in Corporate America.
In each of Thomas's works, there are recurring themes that represent different feelings and forms of expression.
As a child, Thomas was teased for having big lips, an experience black children know too well. In his work as an adult, Thomas exaggerates facial features, such as lips and noses as a symbol of pride and expression, pushing the message that all people should love themselves for the features they were both with, regardless of societal undertones.
Gold Teeth are a bold move, highlighting the creativity of black culture and style.
"The Bigger, the Better" is his favorite mindset to work with. Giant pieces allow Thomas to think and create BIG. Over time, Thomas worked his way up, starting canvases that only stretched 3 feet in length to now creating works as large as 9 feet.
