PULP is the title of a new body of work made by Patrick Thomas in response to the reality of living in an age of ‘truth decay’. Interacting with randomly sourced daily newsprint — the traditionally respected source of factual information — he layers found, drawn and code-generated graphic forms in an aleatory way utilising the mechanical process of silkscreen printing.

Intentionally ambiguous, the resulting prints may be appreciated for their abstract beauty and as a celebration of the disappearing broadsheet newspaper format; however, they might also conceal a darker significance that suggests manipulation, concealment and censorship.

They are powerful graphic statements that document a moment in time whose aim is to ask more questions than provide answers, which, due to the unstable physical properties of the newsprint material, will continue to silently evolve over the years.

Patrick Thomas (Liverpool, GB) is a graphic artist, who lives and works in Berlin and is a professor at Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste Stuttgart.
