Like many people who have lived in Venezia I have a deep love for the city, the art it holds as well as the wine and the food.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I spent many hours when living in the city studying the great Italian Masters such as Tiziano as other artists like Brancusi, which are held in the Guggenheim Gallery.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0When living in Venezia I spent a long time studying the canals and the power the reflection holds within them. This has inspired such works of mine as\u00a0Aqua Alta 2015, calling on the rich history and the materials (glass and red-wine) and their symbolic meanings as well as the power held within the reflection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0And I can happily say I don\u2019t need a map to find my way around Venezia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Thomas \u00a0Wray<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tomwray.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.tomwray.co.uk<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.veneziaartmagazine.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSC00519.jpeg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2834\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2834\" src=\"http:\/\/www.veneziaartmagazine.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSC00519.jpeg\" alt=\"DSC00519\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Hole 2015<\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.veneziaartmagazine.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSC00649.jpeg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2836\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2836\" src=\"http:\/\/www.veneziaartmagazine.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSC00649.jpeg\" alt=\"DSC00649\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<span style=\"color: #808080;\">bianco 2015<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.veneziaartmagazine.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSC00764.jpeg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2837\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2837\" src=\"http:\/\/www.veneziaartmagazine.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSC00764.jpeg\" alt=\"DSC00764\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Acqua Alta 2015 (13\u00a0glass vessels filled with red wine)<\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.veneziaartmagazine.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSC00631.jpeg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2838\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2838\" src=\"http:\/\/www.veneziaartmagazine.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSC00631.jpeg\" alt=\"DSC00631\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Shrouds 2015 (One to one prints of the artist body in ash)<\/span><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<i>articolo di Alberto Balletti e Marina Guarneri<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dall&#8217;anno scorso abbiamo incontrato e frequentato spesso Thomas Wray a Venezia, durante la sua permanenza in citt\u00e0.
