About the Item
Artist Comments
The club was a whirl of sound and motion around midnight. At two in the morning, the crowd has gone, but a horn player remains in a quiet corner, unwilling to let the night end. The scene captures a suspended moment with the red banquettes glowing, the wall fading in a cool haze, and the silent weight of the instrument breaking the stillness. Both elegy and celebration, the painting lingers on the pull of music long after the stage has gone dark.
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.
