About the Item
Artist Comments
This painting captures the moody atmosphere of a dimly lit bar, where patrons sit in quiet solitude, their forms rendered mostly in silhouette. The open doorway, the main light source, casts a stark contrast against the shadows, highlighting the paradox of togetherness and loneliness coexisting in the same space.
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.
