Thomas Broadbent"Domestic Forager" large scale contemporary surrealist watercolor of anteater2020
2020
About the Item
40"x60" watercolor on paper, signed on reverse by the artist. In this contemporary surrealist painting, an anteater is foraging through cast off items from domestic life. The animal stands amongst a scattering of books and papers. A standing empty wine glass and an iphone are all that remain of its human counterpart. In this work on paper, paperclips relate to ants, which the long tongue of the anteater seems to be feasting on.
In this new series of paintings by Thomas Broadbent, the native habitat of the animals depicted has been altered to consist of cast off and reclaimed elements of human domestically. Foraging through their new environment, the animals gather together, collecting and searching for resources they can use. Broadbent personifies the creatures, presenting the question as to whether the animals are left with the remains of trappings of man or if they have altered their environment themselves.

By Jeff Conroy

In Japan they are known as Nishikigoi, or living jewels. These brilliantly colored varieties of the Amur carp have been selectively bred by family owned fisheries for generations. When I began this series of Gyotaku (Japanese fish printing) I studied the many varieties of Koi, each with their own unique colors and patterns. My particular favorites are the Tanchos which can be identified by the distinct red spot on their heads. To create these pieces I print common carp I catch myself with sumi ink using traditional techniques used by Japanese fisherman...
