About the Item
Artist Comments
A surreal scene offers two possibilities. First, it is a realistic rendering of a man in a Big Bird costume, slouched at a dimly lit bar among solitary drinkers, bathed in cinematic reds and oranges. Second, it is Big Bird himself and not a costume. Artist Keith Thomson used oil paint and ink to create this piece.
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.
