BIO
Thomas Gleaner (b. 1969, Mount Airy, North Carolina) received a Bachelor of Creative Arts in Studio Art from the University of North Carolina, Charlotte and obtained his MFA from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) in 2020. Gleaner is a recipient of a North Carolina Arts Council Artist Fellowship, a Minnesota State Arts Board Grant, and was honored in 2015 with UNC Charlotte’s College of Arts + Architecture inaugural Distinguished Alumni Award. Gleaner’s paintings, sculptures, installations, and mixed-media books illustrate the complexities of the subconscious as they relate to balancing one’s own personal welfare in the throes of an increasingly chaotic, information-saturated world. His pieces explore themes of chance, intuition, curiosity, and osmosis.
Gleaner’s commissioned works have been featured at the North Carolina Museum of Art, The Halsey Institute for Contemporary Art, and The Mint Museum. His works are held in numerous private and public collections including the Cameron Art Museum, Davidson College, the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art, the Weatherspoon Art Museum, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. He is a recipient of a North Carolina Arts Council Artist Fellowship and was honored in 2015 with UNC Charlotte’s College of Arts + Architecture inaugural Distinguished Alumni Award. Gleaner lives and works in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
