Thomas Darksmith Gallery

Thomas Darksmith (b. 1978) is a California-based multidisciplinary artist who has been producing crude audio collage and similarly rudimentary line drawings since the early ‘00s. Since 2007, his work has been released at a slow but steady pace by multiple well-regarded experimental music labels—including Hanson, Chocolate Monk and No Rent—as well as his own small Mom Costume imprint. Darksmith’s vaguely musical and often claustrophobic sound work is largely built around “domestic recordings,” reflecting the anxiety and isolation of personal experience. Working in the visual field, Darksmith’s minimalistic portraitures explore the psychological and physical impositions experienced in dysfunctional relationships. His often ridiculous and disturbing ink pen drawings present the frailty and weakness inherent in the human condition with both cruel humor and empathic understanding.
