context_page_description: Not to be confused with Greeley, PA sculptor of the same name.
  Tom Holmes is an American artist based in Jackson County, Tennessee.
context_section_description: Working within the "problems of abstraction" the artist often takes up a class-conscious cultural criticism through the genre of the funerary as well as processes derived from psychic automatism. Utilizing abstract compositional constructions and modest sculptural materials, such as concrete blocks, folding chairs, and cereal boxes, the works bear witness to the condition of the inevitable.  Anne Doran writes, Holmes's work is "redolent of institutional limbos and marginal lives, with shrill bottom notes of failure and fear."
