Lupe
Thomas's work integrates several formal concepts in the plasticity of the whole painting. The presence of faceless characters or details, based on a detailed study of the expressive possibilities of color, are the explanation of the appeal of his work.

His paintings are collected by subject and series. The paintings, made with virgin and very thick woven fabric, seemingly crude, are partially hidden by the painting material used, give an unusual appearance. The characters seem static convey a strong will to move, the same optical effect we feel when we look at paintings.
silhouettes, and shapes, walk on the canvas by setting a world of illusion. His palette, color, a characteristic of the artist, which is dominated by gray, blue and brown, along with white and black. They are the clear dark as a whole, appeal greatly.
I am fascinated by his art.

Lupe Thomas, the consistency of the plastic
Lupe Thomas addresses the plasticity of the paintings considered, firstly, the presence of pictorial material as a basis for then dovetailed through the form of his figures that represent characters without a face or details. Transmitting the worship how, growing ideas of innocence and purity, the product of an everyday world where things unfold with the certainty of his clairvoyance. Lupe
Thomas goes beyond the apparent, flees the story, but becomes an advocate of art naive but gifted with inner strength directly. Ie incardinated complex speech and symbolic, from figurative subjects, although the Super Transporter beyond its usual limitations from the elimination of any reference of characters or faces, details, pigmentation and structures that recall a description. This gives rise to talk of the plastic consistency. With the power and strength of the hot color synergistic sorted in space, using a restrained palette, with a predominance of blue and gray, building volume textures. Lupe
Thomas coated with color layer composition, using faceless characters, however, have the personality of intelligent beings before tackling complex problems and strongly effervescent continuous. Hence his artistic struggle is to remove the anecdote to convey the concept conversion of naive painting, provide it with meaning and matter to present it as a personal work based on the form and content of expressive speech.
