About the Item
Artist Comments
A family eats dinner and talks about their day. The glowing, soft-focus background and amber palette evoke warmth, love, and perhaps nostalgia, while the stylized forms and bold silhouettes give the painting a theatrical, almost storybook quality. The overall tone is affectionate, with a touch of absurdist humor. The scene highlights how our notions of “family†have evolved.
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.
