Damon Thompson

Damon Thompson uses spray paint to do brightly colored murals around the Louisville,KY area. Graduate of Dupont Manuel's Visual Arts Program, class of 1997, Damon has also attended art courses at The Art Institute of Atlanta, JC+TC, and U or L. Title of Artwork: "Focusing" Damon Thompson's painting at JC+TC is "Focusing". It depicts three different faces: one looking inward, one looking at the viewer, and one looking to the sky. These are all noticeable gestures people use when put to task on a creative endeavor. The figures are not specific individuals, but constructed to illustrate the idea of a thinking, intelligent student. Damon Thompson uses the tools and techniques learned from graffiti writers to execute large spray can portraits in radiant color.
