Thomas Finke
American
His work is represented in numerous museums and private collections in the United States and Japan and the Udinotti Gallery in Scottsdale, Arizona currently represents his work.
Tom Finke is an artist and educator, active in both photography and ceramics, who lives and works in Colorado. He has traveled extensively throughout the United States and Asia, photographing the events that we celebrate in our everyday lives. His current photographic works deal with the series titled: "Celebrations and Competitions."
I photograph because it makes me feel that I am alive. The "Competitions and Celebrations" deals with the gestures and body language that we present as part of our everyday life. Like expressions of the face, attitudes of the body are full of meaning. Some of our gestures and poses are contrived for an audience; some are unconscious and involuntary; or nearly so. All of them send messages about who we think we are, or how we feel, or what we mean messages we might prefer to disguise, as well as, those we intend to project. This sample readily suggests the unsurprising conclusion that, we have become less inhibited about expressing ourselves.
