About the Item

Artist Comments
A cyclist navigates a winding road flanked by towering cliffs and stark shadows. No other riders, cars, or signs of human life—just one figure in motion. Yet this solitude isn’t loneliness. It is the purposeful quiet when the world fades to just your breath. Your body aches, doubts grow louder, but the beauty of the moment and the glimmer of what lies ahead propel you forward.


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.
