About the Item
Artist Comments
A lone figure stands before a slot machine set against a wide Western horizon. The barren landscape reflects a sense of modern isolation. The man isn’t gambling for profit but to fill the emptiness around and within him. The piece can also be seen as a commentary on the omnipresence of gambling today. Artist Keith Thomson executed the work in oil paint and ink.
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 90s 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 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.
