The teeth shine. The NPP is dancing. The shell shows its treasure. The canister becomes human. The cow’s udder is plump. Globes fly, and so does the touch-me-not. Homage is paid to the logos. Corona yells. The fossil club looms.

“Something ironic and slightly absurd resonates there – a special form of wit or poetic humour is inherent in his work, which makes things – even if they weigh heavily – light and thus easier to grasp. Not the moral reproach, but rather the unexpected image, the oblique idea lie in Tom Albrecht’s artistic calculation.” Dr. Peter Funken, 2021.

Tom Albrecht founded Group Global 3000 in 2012 as a project space with a gallery and has since curated 53 exhibitions with the team.
