MR. Thoms
FROM
Roma, Italy
Diego della Posta, known as Mr Thoms was born in Rome in 1979. He is a multifaceted artist who expresses himself not only through Street Art, but also through painting, illustration and graphics, in a constant search for balance between ironic mood and expressive concept. His art seeks messages to convey through irony and sarcasm, playing with bright colors and geometric shapes reveals the ability to represent movement on the walls and at the same time to express a concept, sending a message to reflect on in an ironic way . Active in the street art scene, he participates in urban art events and festivals all over the world.
“Giochi di un tempo”
Mr Thoms’ work is a whirlwind of games and at the same time a piece of memory of the innocent entertainment that children of the past enjoyed with little or almost nothing. There is the top which, wrapped in string in all its strange shape, was spun with a violent jerk, which sometimes served to hit other tops. Hopscotch, the game of boxes drawn on the street with numbers that forced you to perform difficult acrobatics and jumps. There are cards that together united and divided many friendships. And simple musical instruments like the marranzano and the tambourine. And how can we fail to remember the time of drawings, which in Prizzi’s children could not fail to have the Ball of the Devils as its subject? The whole of childhood in its most beautiful sign, play, evokes the artist, with the suggestions dictated by a contemporary vision.
Simply a smiling visitor here to share the love (:, btw great style.
