"Does Norman Rockwell's America still exist?" asks artist Keith Thomson. "My ongoing search for it took me to a Waffle House in Kentucky, where I found this guy, a Hell's Angel having a tough time deciding between the pecan waffles and the chocolate chip."
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.

Artist Guigen Zha presents a quadriptych of pink lotuses in varying positions and stages of growth. He creates an eye-catching contrast by realistically painting the flowers over the abstract gradient background. Guigen collages the subject to perfectly integrate the three expressive painting techniques into the composition. "It can also be hung separately as four individual pictures of the lotus," says Guigen.
