Thomas Spoerndle (American, b. 1984) is a New York City based artist who uses geometric abstraction to explore the multifaceted nature of perception through paintings, works on paper and installations. Drawing from the rich history of geometric abstraction as well as his interest in music theory, science fiction writing and structural engineering, Thomas creates dynamic works utilizing visual rhythms and fluctuating figure ground relationships.

Thomas has exhibited in numerous group and solo exhibitions; most recently at Troppus Projects (Kent, OH), the Reinberger Gallery (Cleveland, OH), the Everson Museum of Art (Syracuse, NY), Air in Space (Online) and Collarworks Flat File Program (Troy ,NY). Thomas’ work is held by private collections across the US, as well as in the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art, Everson Museum of Art, Fidelity Investments Collection and JPMorgan Chase Art Collection. His work has also been featured in publications such as Patron (Dallas), New American Paintings, Maake Mag, the Cleveland Plain Dealer and Artmaze Magazine.
