Part of a solo exhibition of works entitled: WHITEOUT the series uses the symbolic definition to white-out or cover up the truth. It is also symbolic of the literature reference for white-wash a fence, thus dealing with issues of colonialism, the whitening of race. White-out was use as a conceptual idea to neutralize difficult subject matters. Each of the work in this series takes on a difficult subject matter and moment in history that repeats itself and goes on with out change, but where change is immediately needed to bring it to an abrupt halt. by using the symbolic nature of the color white to present these difficult subject each piece can be viewed from a far as a "beautiful" white abstraction. As you slowly get closer to the work images and text become more clearer and legible as the abstraction fall away and you start to see and focus on the sometime harsh reality of the subject matter.

Tm Gratkowski's artwork is a form of visual data gathering. He aligns the act of looking with that of reading by using paper, images, and text to create a critical visual narrative about the culture of information we live in today. His artwork is densely layered to construct a surface rich in patterns, images, text. Going beyond historical definitions, concepts, and contemporary art practices Tm pushes the boundaries beyond traditional collage as he beguiles everyday information by playing with image-as-text and text-as-image.
