Dr. Thomas Stollar currently an assistant professor of Sculpture at University of Sharjah, UAE.

Stollar holds a PhD from the University of Sunderland, UK and an MFA from West Virginia University, USA. His work explores the dynamic intersection of technology and traditional artistic media. Holding a PhD in sculpture and ceramics Dr. Stollar combines a deep understanding of classical techniques with cutting-edge technological innovations to create art that challenges the boundaries between the familiar and unknown.

 

Dr. Stollar’s body of work spans a diverse array of forms, including mixed-media sculpture, digital installations, and ceramic objects. The research delves into the potential of artistic practice to investigate perceptions of the contemporary everyday that result from daily interactions between analog and digital experiences. Through varying iterations of forms the limitations of objects and their creation is deconstructed and reassembled. In this space there is no original and the boundary between what is real and simulated is overcome through continuous interpretations.
