Tombley's studio in New York
Tombberry was born on April 25, 1928 in Lexington, Usa, under the name Edwin Parker Tombley Jr. His father, a pitcher for the Chicago White Sox of the NBA, nicknamed himself CY for idolizing another legendary pitcher, Cyclone Young, and Later Tomberly took it as his name, CY Thompson.
At an early age, Tomberly loved ancient Greek and Roman mythology, and at the age of 12 he studied painting with a Spanish painter. In 1948, at the age of 20, Tomberley entered the Boston School of Fine Arts and Museum, and the following year went to the New York Art Students Union. There he met another painter, Robert Rauschenberg, who suggested that he study at the Black Mountain Academy. Tomberley did his best in abstract expressionism at the Black Mountain Academy. In 1951, he held his first solo exhibition in Chicago, successfully joining the ranks of emerging Abstract Expressionist artists.
He was conscripted into the army in November 1953 and served until August 1954. In the second half of his military career, Temperly worked as a translator for secret telegrams at the Pentagon. In order to become a competent military translator, he practiced shorthand kung fu, which can quickly crack the contents of the coded telegram and send out signals. It is said that he often creates in the dark after the lights are turned off, trying to paint with his hands and mind without his eyes. Some people commented that Toberly's graffiti style was inseparable from these trainings.
Many art critics believe that Toberly inherited the mantle of The Master of Abstract Expressionism Jackson Pollock. Abstract Expressionism, also known as Abstractism or Abstraction, is a genre of painting that emerged in the United States after World War II. The genre highlights improvisation, with artists often drawing eclectically using tools such as brushes, sticks, spray cans, and even brooms. There are usually no specific objects on the screen, but the sporadic elements such as lines, colors, symbols and other sporadic elements can reveal strong emotions and themes.
Jackson Pollock, the representative of this faction, had a creative show in 1947 and is still talked about today. He spread the canvas on the ground, carried a jar of paint himself, grabbed a brush and walked onto the canvas, dripping, sprinkling or throwing the paint on the canvas to create a painting with excellent traces and splashes of paint, which became a classic of Abstract Expressionism. From this point of view, Tomberley's work does have a strong abstract expressionist color. But The seemingly meaningless geometric lines and graphics in Tombley's works and the occasional poetic phrase fill the picture with enigmatic allegory and intriguing emotions, and he seems to be able to be different, with a style of abstract expressionism, minimalism and pop art.
