Woont en werkt in Gent, België
Thomas Bogaert is een kunstenaar gevestigd in Gent, België. Hij is de zoon van kunstenaar Dré Bogaert en studeerde Animatie en Tekenen aan de Koninklijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten in Gent. Nadat hij op 22-jarige leeftijd beide ouders verloor, begon Thomas Bogaert de wisselwerking tussen tijd en nostalgie te verkennen via tekenen, beeldhouwen, animatie en film.
In 2003 nodigde Jan Hoet hem uit om tentoon te stellen in S.M.A.K., waar hij "The Superfast Series" presenteerde, een Super 8-filmloop van matchbox autootjes. Daarna begon Bogaert zijn werk tentoon te stellen doorheen Europa en publiceerde verschillende kunstboeken. In de zomer van 2018 exposeerde hij bij Annet Gelink Gallery in Amsterdam: "The Angel and the Camera" is een dialoog met de Nederlandse kunstenaar Marijke Van Warmerdam.
Aan het begin van 2024 presenteert hij bij Valerie_traan Gallery in Antwerpen "The Witness". In april neemt hij deel aan Kunstenparcours Coup De Ville "Artist & Athletes, the hill they climb".

After this Bogaert started exhibiting his work throughout Europe and published several art books. In the summer of 2018, he exhibited at Annet Gelink Gallery in Amsterdam: “The Angel and the Camera” is a dialogue with Dutch artist Marijke Van Warmerdam.
