Thommy Conroy

“Yes, let’s go.”

This play is a reflection on the (im)possibility of accepting diversity and the other. The fragmented body of the neoplasm—the fruit of unstable conditions—overcomes barriers, loves and denies itself and others, wanders around, forgetting its profession. It frequently and with pleasure divides, goes through dangerous palpation, questions the possibility of contact with the experience of the other. Poorly brought up but very successful, it invites us to a trans-species transition.

Conroy’s rapidly executed and gestural mural ironically hints at the decoration of certain types of home. The frieze of nude men, loosely drawn from a number of historical sources, has other more contemporary references.

About The Artist

Known for his work in both the non-profit and private sectors around the Pennsylvania and New York regions, Thommy Conroy has been working in event architecture, floristry, and art curation since 2002. Hailing from a fine art and theater background, Conroy creates events that focus on guest experience and unforgettable moments, with a floristry practice based on studies in classical floral composition and ikebana technique. He was awarded by the Pittsburgh Creativity Project for acting as a curator to expand the range of work and deliver artistic products to Pittsburgh.
