About the Item

A great cormorant bird sits atop a bend wood chair, with a clear glass pitcher with a single white calla lily resting along beside. This oil painting is a naturalist style in great detail, with the feathers of the bird meticulously rendered, and set well against the dark grey background. Thomas Broadbent's unique pairing of animals in situ with a designer's sensibility gives this painting a contemporary surrealist quality. 24"x30" oil on board, signed on reverse. Thomas Broadbent has shown extensively throughout the U.S. as well as internationally. Broadbent’s work won the Pulse Prize for best solo booth at Pulse Art Fair. His work was subsequently featured in “Mission to Space” at the Children’s Art Museum in Manhattan. His nine-foot long “Lunar Mosaic” painting hangs in the American Consolate building in Moscow. His work is in the permanent collection of the National Museum of Wildlife Art. Broadbent’s numerous solo exhibitions include the Visual Art’s Center of New Jersey, Croxhapox Gallery (Gent, Belgium) Voorkamer Gallery (Lier, Belgium) Inspace gallery (Beijing, China) and the Newark Arts Council. Broadbent’s work has been reviewed in The New York Times, The New Jersey Star-Ledger, NY Arts, The Brooklyn Rail and numerous other publications.
