Thomas Zipp — Polymorphin
Thomas Zipp

Polymorphin

Thomas Zipp's *Polymorphin* is a multifaceted work combining acrylic and oil on muslin with mixed media on paper, reflecting the artist's ongoing investigation into altered states of consciousness, psychology, and countercultural histories. Zipp's layered application of materials creates a tension between raw, organic surfaces and deliberate mark-making, evoking both scientific diagrams and psychedelic imagery. The work exemplifies his practice of merging text, symbol, and abstraction to explore the intersections of medicine, mysticism, and the human mind.
