About the Item
Back in the day, the glorious 1980's was a time of unequaled freedom, that we once took for granted. This picture captures the sky ablaze of a hot summer day - sunset over Downtown Brooklyn painted in genuine natural vermillion and mineral orange. Detail images show my palette made from a variety of historic and natural mineral pigments. The carnelian ring photo is a good example of the beauty of minerals, though carnelian is not used as a pigment, it's properties are similar to mineral pigments. The colors and content capture the passion of the 80's in NYC, a time of flourishing new music and art and a great time to be in NY.
The buildings in these paintings are specific and few. This was the Downtown Brooklyn skyscape of the 1980's. It was my view for over 30 years, until the development and towers came. Brooklyn Blaze 1986 captures the changes that were to come and memorializes this scene in a painting. It holds a special place in my heart.

Tom Irizarry Studio
The studio is my laboratory, and a Magical place. The possibility of creating a work of art that resonates so deeply, it cannot be unseen or unheard, drives me. Creative forces enable me to observe and infuse New York and Chicago urbanscapes with bold energy and deep feeling, I put a body on an invisible entity. Yes, they are representational, however, the pictorial effect forms a communication to the viewer. Some might call it alchemy, that finds its way in my paintings as a strong unavoidable vibration from my own hand and the materials I use. Tom Irizarry is a man who does not compromise in any avenue of life and especially in making paintings. My work, like myself, stands firm on it's own ground. If you can see a fraction of what goes through my imagination as I am painting, well then my job is complete.
