About the Item
Artist Comments
A young woman sits alone in the back of a taxi, oblivious to the city blurring past. The contrast between her brightly lit face and hand with the dark surroundings adds a sense of solitude to the scene. It is easy to imagine that she is texting, expressing gratitude for a delightful dinner. In another scenario, she might be checking sports scores, and unfortunately, she's a Mets fan. The artwork is created with oil paint and ink.
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.
