Thomas Keeley: Everyday Surrealism

Thomas Keeley is a fine artist—although a more appropriate title might be “object artist”—who creates his art through subtle adjustments of reality.  He takes everyday objects and cloaks them with personality, like replacing the bristles of a hairbrush with fingers or putting ears on an old Panasonic walkman, thus transforming them into unique characters.Keeley finds working in 3 dimensions very rewarding saying that,

“I’ve always been interested in objects.  They have a unique ability to be very subjective while maintaining impartiality…they can be deeply personal for the individual while remaining unbiased…so they leave a lot of room for interpretation.”
