THOMAS CHRISTOPHER HAAG

STATEMENT

Using “reclaimed” house paint taken from chemical disposal facilities, found wood, and discarded books, I construct multi-layered, collaged paintings and assemblages which reference ancient cultures and spiritual traditions, but with just a hint of smart-ass. I make homages to criminal saints, a bodhisattva telling a fart joke, events of divine banality and comic significance, stripped of pretense or stuffed with it. Either way, it is all holy shit.
