The Artist Behind The Portal
Nick Thomm commands 225,000 Instagram followers from his studios spanning Los Angeles and Melbourne. The Australian artist earned recognition for his large-scale spectral paintings and immersive art installations that blur digital and physical boundaries.
Thomm's work appeared at prestigious venues including the New Museum in New York, Moco Museum in Barcelona, and National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne. His commissioned pieces include multiple artworks for LVMH, Louis Vuitton, and Tiffany & Co, plus a three-story video wall on Oxford Street London.
The Azure Arch Installation
The Arch measures 87 × 59 inches and incorporates ink, LED, acrylic, and wood materials from 2024. The ARCH in Azure commands $25,000 through Basic.Space, positioning it among Thomm's premium collectible works.
The ARC works function as designed portals, shifting from solid black into subtle fading gradients that create dimensional illusions. Thomm explores modern color systems and abstract image construction, merging traditional art with technology for hypnotic form and color combinations.
Design Miami 2024 Success
Thomm participated in Design Miami events in both Miami and Los Angeles during 2024, alongside Art Basel in Switzerland. At Design Miami LA, the Los Angeles-based Australian artist presented installations featuring hyper-colour Spectral Paintings and iridescent pieces merging traditional art with technology.
Design Miami LA ran May 16-20, 2024, at a private Holmby Hills estate as an invitation-only event. Thomm splits time between Melbourne and Los Angeles "to avoid winters as much as possible" and his colorful work added approachable, playful energy to the show.
Miami Art Week Trajectory
Office Magazine reported Thomm's plans for a 2026 world tour, suggesting the Azure Arch's Miami destination marks another strategic placement. TikTok coverage described his "unapologetically maximal approach" featuring "neon-soaked, hyper-gloss futurism" at Design Miami.
Nick Thomm works on the secondary market average $2,900, with prices ranging from $1,200 to $6,700. His notable commissions include the Storm Artura supercar design for McLaren at Miami F1 Grand Prix and a large-scale mural for Miley Cyrus in Los Angeles.
Portal Aesthetics Movement
Thomm specializes in mixed media works exploring the intersection between art and technology through large-scale hyper-color canvas installations. Many contemporary artists create pieces walking the line between digital and physical art, but Thomm's process explores making surrealist digital images feel more realistic.
His Arc Astral Prism prints sell in limited editions of 50, hand-signed and numbered. The Azure Arch represents Thomm's continued exploration of color as emotional portal, designed to transport viewers through chromatic dimensions.
