About the Item

Ezra Thompson is an artist and educator living and working in Greater New York. He completed his BFA at the Cooper Union in New York City. Under the tutelage of the late Dr. Hugh J. Silverman, his graduate project at Stony Brook University focused primarily on the Self-Portrait, Narcissism, and the Other. He has served as a Curatorial Intern at the Whitney Museum of American Art and held a position as a Conservation Assistant at the Frick Collection’s Art Reference Library in New York City. Thompson was awarded an artist grant with residency at the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, Vermont, Aljira Emerge in Newark, NJ, and received a fellowship from the American-Scandinavian Foundation in New York, NY. He has exhibited his paintings throughout the greater New York/New England area. He is currently an Adjunct Lecturer at Stony Brook University in Stony Brook, New York. Ezra Thompson says of his work… My recent paintings have been concerned with the theatre of memory. In revisiting memory and the past through the photograph, I am attempting to re-learn the use of "signs" to understand and communicate reality. Beginning with the snapshot, I select everyday experiences of life that appear to be instantly unfolding. The initial awkwardness of the subject is only secondary to my larger concern -- the experience of loss and exclusion: loss of loved ones, loss of affection, friendship, and innocent joy. In creating this body of work, there is an attempt to recapture that loss and thus save it from destruction. It is only through this re-visitation of the photograph in adulthood that one hopes to ‘fill in’ or at least ‘pick up the pieces.’ The painting thus becomes a true remembrance of things past.
