Tommy Hartung – Drawing 1 – Destanee Dixon

Tommy Hartung was born in 1979 in Akron, Ohio, and lives and works in New York. Growing up on a farm in upstate New York, Hartung spent countless days alone in the woods, building forts and living in a world of his imagination, which he considers the beginning of his artistic practice. His artist style is science fiction and he hand crafts his own props using things that are “boring” or “dead.” 

Doing a variety of things such as photography, sculpture and video, Hartung’s work addresses topics such as the Bible and the history of colonialism with a surrealist DIY aesthetic, through stream storytelling. The imagery he creates mirrors a “globalized” world steeped in obsession, violence and sympathetic magic. His use of multiple medias addresses the themes of modernism.
