Welcome to the sculpture gallery

Here you will see the works of Thomas Aitken, American artist, designer and sculptor, whose life and works ponder “The Impact of the Automobile on Human Society.”  Three bodies of Tj's work follow this theme - The Nikes, OverHeads, and Major Impact. Tj's newest work, Bug Alight is featured in the Logsdon1909 gallery in Chicago's Arts disrict, where a number of his works can be viewed each month. 

The Nikes

Abstract portraits of vehicles

The Nikes refer to ancient sculptures found by archeologists. Constructed on three scales: Monumental (life size cast stone -pictured to the right), Pedestal (about 30" cast bronze) and Maquettes (6" cast pewter).

The OverHeads

Overheads
Modern American Tribal Worship Art

Constructed from Automotive interior overhead consoles, this series of Tribal mask-like wall reliefs, mobiles and sculptures deals with the spiritual side of auto worship, and other material trappings. Each piece has a written statement about a spiritual condition.

Impact Series

Figurative Forms

From the auto culture's powerful alteration of human society. These studies, in many scales and materials, are from an alliteration, a commentary on American dependency on the automobile.
