Thomas Glassford
( Laredo, Texas,1963) Visual Artist and Sculptor
Thomas Glassford is an American Visual Artist who lives in Mexico who studied art at the University of Texas at Austin, where he received his BFA. He moved to Mexico City in 1990 and joined a young avant-garde group of Mexican, European, and American artists living in the city; in Licenciado Verdad, such as Francis Allys, Gabriel Orozco, Silvia Grunner, Melanie Smith, and Pablo Vargas Lugo.
Since the early 1990s, Glassford has used everyday materials--ranging from gourds to broomsticks, anodized aluminum to melamine plates--to create architectural or installation-scale works. He transforms these materials into rhythmic and often abstract creations, reminiscent of Minimalist sculpture and Op Art paintings of the 1960s.
