Artist Comments
A panoramic view of the Swiss Alps stretches out in artist Keith Thomson's impressionist work. He renders a cherry-red Zamboni smoothing the frozen surface of the icy pond. "The composition is either a work of surrealism or if you like to play hockey, a depiction of your dream," says Keith. The solid color blocking allows the different elements of the piece to pop.

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 90’s 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 an 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.
