About the Item

Those familiar with Thom Merrick will probably first think of his sculptures, although in his first show at American Fine Arts in New York included abstract paintings as well. And while for many years Merrick has produced and created installations in New York and elsewhere he has turned his endeavors to painting. More specifically his paintings are focused on the landscape just outside of Los Angeles in the desert area known as Twentynine Palms. At the beginning of this new century Merrick was making big changes for himself and his art: moving back to California and embarking on painting as his mission. He had played with painting and drawing over the years, focusing on the process by which images came into being; using computers to create drawings that would then be turned into paintings. Once west, he set up his studio in a remote area of the desert 150 miles east of Los Angeles at the base of the Joshua Tree National Park and began to look and wander and absorb these new surroundings.

Once west, he set up his studio in a remote area of the desert 150 miles east of Los Angeles at the base of the Joshua Tree National Park and began to look and wander and absorb these new surroundings. But also at the root of his thinking is this idea: I think I am anti-pop, nature produces repetition in the desert because that's all that can survive, it's free of economic models and theory. Mass production produces sameness because it's cost effective. There's a distinction important to my art here. See photos for related works from this series.
