About the Item
Artist Comments
A man and a woman stand opposite in artist Keith Thomson's intriguing elevator scene. "What other venue consistently forces intimacy upon complete strangers, the sort where you're not sure whether it's more awkward to say something or say nothing," says Keith. A poetic mediation within the corners of the lift takes place. The playful narrative suggests a conversation ensuing, leading to dinner and leaving plenty to be imagined by the viewer.
About the Artist
Alabama-based artist Keith Thomson creates quick-witted, mixed-media artwork that blends realism and surrealism. His background as a political cartoonist in the 90’s is reflected in the sharp storytelling his artwork achieves. He combines stylized realism and everyday subject matter with surreal details and ironic twists. He begins his work as digital sketches using an animation software, then he transfers the sketch onto the canvas and begins applying oil paint. In addition to painting, he is a writer, of mostly spy novels and nonfiction articles. His writing prowess shines through in his witty descriptions of his pieces.
