Roland Thompson’s Yw-T2 (2014) is a collage of bends and bars, expertly hand-cut from Color-Aid papers. At once layered and flat, the appearance is like a collection of fallen limbs gathered from a forest of exotic typography. The arrangement has been crafted with such precision that it suggests a mechanical drawing or a diagram of integrated circuitry. It comes as no surprise that the artist is reaching for, in his own words, " a visualization of a network of connections between people, places, and things across time and space. " Roland Thompson received a BFA from Brigham Young University in 1998 and an MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2001. Thompson has been featured in notable group exhibitions, including Random Order, White Columns, New York (2003); Reductive, Mahan Gallery, Ohio (2006); Post-Geometric, ParisCONCRET, Paris (2012); Friendly Takeover- Artists Show Their Collection (Katharina Grosse), Marta Herford, Germany (2014); and a solo exhibit titled Recur at CUAC, Utah (2011). www.rolandthompson.art See less
