Thomas Deininger describes himself as an “optimistic Nihilist” who likes “making things to help me process the mayhem….maybe it’s just adding to the confusion.” He’s a gifted artist who re-uses trash to create his masterpieces.
The Bristol, Rhode Island-based Dininger is a graduate in Art who has been creating sculptures and installations from toys, covers, and packaging he finds on the beaches, for more than 25 years now. If you watch from a distance, his creations look more like drawings, paintings, or ordinary sculptures.
In addition to sculptures, the artist makes two-dimensional paper collages, using photographs from newspapers, magazines, and pop culture materials such as Barbie dolls.
Deininger shares his creations onto his Instagram page called tdeininger where he has attracted more than 103 thousand followers.
