Tom GELEB, whose real name is Thomas GELEBART, is a self-taught French artist born in 1986 in Brest. After growing up in French Polynesia, a region that continues to fuel his artistic inspiration, he settled in Paris. The profound impact of the Paris attacks in 2015 turned his artistic approach towards an exploration of love, the central emotion of his work.<\/p>
The recurring element in his creations is the character of T\u00e9va, a \u00abheart blower\u00bb who symbolizes love and kindness. The name T\u00e9va, which means \u00abthe great traveler\u00bb and \u00abthe shower of love\u00bb in Tahitian, captures the essence of this character who travels through Tom's art to spread love. T\u00e9va is often depicted in black and white with patterns reminiscent of traditional Polynesian tattoos, thus reflecting the artist's cultural roots.<\/p>
Tom GELEB uses various mediums for his works, ranging from canvases and drawings to graffiti and urban collages, allowing T\u00e9va to integrate into the daily lives of Parisian street passersby. Each appearance of T\u00e9va in public spaces is an evocative scene, a constant reminder that love can and should be present in every daily gesture.<\/p>
In addition to his work on canvas and in the streets, Tom GELEB also innovated by creating a digital advent calendar in 2021, blending original drawings and poems. This initiative demonstrates his desire to push the boundaries of his artistic expression and engage his audience in an interactive and contemporary way.<\/p>
Tom GELEB's artistic universe is therefore not limited to galleries and urban spaces, but also extends to the digital realm, where he continues to explore new ways of communicating about love and humanity through art.<\/p>","country":"FR","circa":false,"date_de_naissance":"1986","date_de_deces":"","photo":10727,"nombre_de_produits_associes":"32"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/galeriemontorgueil.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pa_artistes\/187","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/galeriemontorgueil.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pa_artistes"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/galeriemontorgueil.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/pa_artistes"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/galeriemontorgueil.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?pa_artistes=187"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
