B. Thom Stevenson

🔳 B. Thom Stevenson (born in 1985) is a Worcester-based artist. 

B. Thom Stevenson lives and works in Worcester, Massachusetts. In his practice, the artist creates a unique subcultural glossary, blending symbols, attributes, and iconography into one piece - telling a story about the intersections, changes, and evolution of artifacts, as well as their overall imagery.

The symbols in the artist's work boil down to bold signs that reflect B. Thom's close connection with the main theme of his art - his deep dive into the subject allows him to craft a concise language and a clear, almost dogmatic artistic program. 

He uses graphic materials and creates reproducible works - tools that showcase a perspective on culture not from the outside looking in, but from within, pulling it out into the open. This isn’t the viewpoint of a researcher; it’s the perspective of someone who’s part of the scene. Yet instead of getting locked into one countercultural group, the artist skillfully navigates through a transcultural space.

  The artist’s style is free-flowing, with colors that are straightforward. His works are like a vast playground for experimentation where the fear of making mistakes takes a backseat. We’re not looking at meticulous canvases painted with delicate glazes; instead, we see bold, confident statements that are memorable and stunning in their imperfection.

B. Thom Stevenson’s studio is a space of constant growth and vitality - a place that transforms the artist’s visions into paintings or turns blank canvases into vibrant artworks.
