Thomas A. Greeves

The Temple
Untitled
Steam Carriage

Thomas A. Greeves is an artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Thomas A. Greeves carried a tiny notebook everywhere, sketching whatever moved, or didn’t. He once drew the same London bus stop for three years straight, just to catch how light bent on wet pavement. His drawings look unfinished because he left blank paper where the air should be, as if the city itself was breathing through his lines.

To see what he meant by “emptiness with presence,” hunt down Steam Carriage (1988): a single tram belching smoke across a foggy page, the steam dissolving before it hits the sky.
