About the Item

30"x22 watercolor on paper, signed on the reverse by the artist. This watercolor painting by Thomas Broadbent is composed of stacked books to create a "birdhouse" from an architecture of printed matter and rubber bands. The title "Shore House" relates to the type of birds depicted in the painting, with a sea gull and sandpipers perched on the structure. One sandpiper stands on one leg as a familiar stance known for this variety of birds. The bright color in the book's binding add a nice vibrancy to the highly detailed painting. Red and green compliment the neutral grey and browns in the bird's marking and feathers. This painting is created in a contemporary naturalist style with the artist giving great care into his depiction of the anatomy and structure of the birds. Thomas Broadbent has shown extensively throughout the U.S. as well as internationally. Broadbent’s work won the Pulse Prize for best solo booth at Pulse Art Fair. His work was subsequently featured in “Mission to Space” at the Children’s Art Museum in Manhattan. His work is in the permanent collection of the National Museum of Wildlife Art. Broadbent’s numerous solo exhibitions include the Visual Art’s Center of New Jersey, Croxhapox Gallery (Gent, Belgium) Voorkamer Gallery (Lier, Belgium) Inspace gallery (Beijing, China) and the Newark Arts Council. Broadbent’s work has been reviewed in The New York Times, The New Jersey Star-Ledger, NY Arts, The Brooklyn Rail and numerous other publications.
