Tom Warren has been actively involved in the New York City art world for more than 25 years. His photography was included in many important ‘80s exhibitions, such as the Times Square Show and Bad Light Photography, which brought international attention to New York’s underground art and music scene. Warren also displayed work in the very first shows at COLAB, the Rivington Street School, and Fashion Moda. He was simultaneously photographing pioneer Punk and No-Wave musicians X_X, DNA, the Lounge Lizards, and numerous others.

Warren’s photography presents a poignant understanding of abjection and pathos. His inanimate subjects — abandoned cars, air vents, vacuum cleaners — reflect a humanist symbolism, while his formal portraiture is an indelible recording of pure elegiac order.

The heady East Village days of neo-pop have now faded into historical perspective. Tom Warren’s early photography serves as a reminder of the importance of archiving the temporary, as well as the uniqueness of both the individual and the moment.
