Thomas Jeppe: Gypset Purgatory

For the exhibition Gypset Purgatory, Thomas Jeppe will presents a new body of work at Trikot, consisting of a series of sculptures and a publication concerning the entrenched melancholia of the Gypsy Jetset.

Through painting, sculpture and publishing, Jeppe’s work engages the social histories around cultural production. This usually involves community and vernacular aesthetics, a gesture towards a setting for interaction, and loose attempts to formalise a theoretical position. Research and reconstruction form a large part of the work, and while a critical thread runs throughout, each piece is lined with the malleable currency of energy, curiosity, and propositional hyperbole.
