Thomas Trum (NL, 1989) lives and works in Den Bosch, The Netherlands.
He studied at the Design Academy in Eindhoven. His work is represented in public and private collections. Trum works on the intersection of art and design. Using the studio as a place for experiment, he looks into unconventional ways to paint on paper, canvas or walls. Paint is his muse, whether it is in small-scale research or expanding public spaces with his colourful large-scale work.
