About the Item
Artist Comments
Commuters on a Monday morning in midtown Manhattan stride purposefully through the city streets. Lost in thought about the past or the coming weekend, they fail to notice the 328-foot-tall lizard—or, as seasoned New Yorkers, they’re simply used to it. Towering skyscrapers rise in the background, emphasizing the surreal contrast of the scene.
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.
