A little boy stands on a sidewalk, posing curiously. He is studying the metal and glass contraption, taking in the numbers of its control panel and measuring the height of the adjacent building. He is formulating a hypothesis. Artist Keith Thomson made the piece with 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.
