About the Item
Artist Comments
A young couple sails a small boat down Manhattan. Given the crush of concrete and humanity, the open water provides a singular sense of freedom and escape. The contrast between the romantic scene in the foreground and the dense urban architecture creates a surreal feeling.
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.
