Anup Mathew Thomas: A Photographer's Critical Eye

Anup Mathew Thomas, born in Bengaluru, India in 1977, is a visual artist whose practice centers around photography and explores the complexities of local narratives interwoven with broader societal concerns. His journey into art began at Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology in Bangalore where he honed his skills and established a foundation for his distinctive artistic vision. Since graduating in 2003, Thomas has consistently pursued photographic storytelling as his primary medium, recognizing its capacity to convey nuanced observations and provoke thoughtful reflection.

Early Influences: Thomas’s formative years were marked by exposure to diverse cultural landscapes within India, fostering an appreciation for visual documentation and a sensitivity to social realities.
Education & Training: His studies at Srishti School equipped him with theoretical frameworks alongside technical expertise, shaping his approach to artistic experimentation.
Residency Programs: Significant experiences gained during artist residencies at Gasworks Gallery in London (2006) and VASL International Artist Residency in Lahore solidified his commitment to sustained creative engagement and broadened his perspectives on global art dialogues.

Thomas’s photographic series aren't merely representations of places or subjects; they are deliberate interventions designed to challenge conventional viewpoints. He meticulously crafts narratives that often appear unassuming at first glance, yet subtly critique their underlying assumptions. This approach reflects a deep understanding of how images can communicate ideas beyond literal depiction—a hallmark of his artistic style. His exhibitions showcase this commitment to conceptual rigor and visual storytelling. Notably, he presented “Double Feature” at Lothringer13 Gallery in Munich, followed by “View from Connolly’s Plot” and “Assembly” at Galleryske in Bangalore, and “Metropolitan” at Gasworks Gallery in London. Furthermore, his work appeared in the inaugural edition of the Kochi Muziris Biennale (2012) and he was awarded the Abraaj Group Art Prize in 2014—recognitions that underscore the impact of his artistic endeavors.
