Thomias Radin's musical influences and his background as a dancer become visible in his elusive brush stroke and performative gesture, which he understands as one holistic creative process: "I paint like I dance. I move and feel with an intuitive freedom of expression, using multiple body languages to be in tune with the music of painting."
His works resemble rhyzometric constructs of personal experiences, Caribbean mythologies, and political entanglements that connect his birthplace Guadeloupe (1993) with his later adopted home France. Since 2019, he is based in Berlin, where he was introduced to the art scene with a solo show at SAVVY Contemporary. (Exhibitions at KINDL - Center for Contemporary Art and Galerie Wedding will follow later this year). Radin’s recent paintings become more colorful and complex. His figures, drawn in dynamic poses, still dance across the canvas, but seem to disappear beneath vast areas of color as if they were slipping away into another time or sphere. An intimate and critical inner monologue around intuitive knowledge on one side and societal expectations from his diverse cultural relationships with the world on the other side. The presentation of his works is complemented by three custom- built octagonal drums made of oak wood. Once again, an invitation to escape this world and move into another state of consciousness through rhythm and ecstasy.
