Thomas Pellerey Grogan (b. 1991, Nottingham, UK) is a French-British artist and researcher based in London. He holds an MA from the Royal College of Art (2016) and a BA from the École cantonale d’art de Lausanne (2014).
Grogan’s multidisciplinary practice examines the relationship between sensory perception and belonging. By focusing on the residual traces of movement, he explores how certain cues ground human experience within both tangible and intangible places. Working primarily with sculpture, he constructs speculative narratives that examine how technology is transforming our relationship to our surroundings, which materialise as new rituals and artefacts.
His work has been exhibited at institutions including SPACE Ilford (UK), La Becque (CH), FACT Liverpool (UK), Le Commun (CH), the Southbank Centre (UK), Baltan Laboratories (NL), and the Onassis Cultural Centre (GR).
