Nomm is an artist and visual explorer who uses the brush, the camera or the computer to
capture and create new and often experimental visual ideas. His work has evolved from
recording the beauty and variety of the external world as it presented itself to creating
his own works and photographic subjects, as evidenced in his recent “Folds in
Space”, “Fluid Moments” and "Fractal Art" series. Nomm's
work embodies the stylistic undercurrents of Expressionism, Abstract Expressionism,
and Lyrical Abstraction; as well as reflecting
his Northern European roots and the influences of a formal graduate education in art
history and philosophy. His works have been displayed or published by a variety of organizations including: the Museum of the Cherokee Indian, the BBC Collective Gallery; Saatchi Gallery Online; Boletin del Instituto Andaluz del Patrimonio Historico (PH 60) in Seville, Spain; Green Hills Literary Lantern, Detroit Free Press, File Magazine, Flak Photo, Exposure Detroit Selective Focus Show, the permanent collection of the Meteor Photo Gallery, and the Agitatto Gallery in Geneva, Switzerland, which represents his work in Europe. Nomm is a self-taught artist who
has been honing his artistic and photographic skills and refining his aesthetic sense for
over 40 years. He has worked as a professional photographer, off and on, for the past 18
years, undertaking assignments as diverse as architectural photography, executive
portraits, special events and product packaging. He also has taught art history and
philosophy at various colleges and universities in Michigan and was chairman of the
Humanities Core Program at Duns Scotus College in the 1970s. Nomm has two Master of Arts
degrees, one in Humanities (with a focus on art history and aesthetic theory) and the
other in Philosophy and he was a Ph.D. candidate in Philosophy at Wayne State
University. |
