About

Tommy Feiler is a Canadian artist whose practice is rooted in a background in advertising, a foundation that informs his conceptual approach to visual art. Transitioning from commercial work to a more exploratory engagement with contemporary image-making, he employs lens-based media to investigate the intersection of language, light, and the overlooked artifacts of everyday life. His work transforms the mundane into subjects of contemplation, reframing familiar objects to provoke reconsideration.

Feiler frequently integrates text with imagery, challenging the distinction between perception and narrative. By juxtaposing words and visuals, he deconstructs the mechanisms of meaning-making, evoking the persuasive strategies of advertising while redirecting them toward existential inquiry. His work explores themes of consumer culture, nostalgia, and transience, urging viewers to engage with the implicit narratives embedded in material culture. Through this interplay of form and content, Feiler invites a deeper reflection on the forces shaping contemporary visual and cultural landscapes.
