About the Item
A striking blend of natural realism and surreal domesticity, in this oil painting, "The Catch" captures a moment of tension and elegance. At its center, an osprey, rendered in meticulous detail, clutches a freshly caught rainbow trout atop a tufted red Mid-Century Modern ottoman. The juxtaposition of predator and prey against refined furniture evokes a sense of irony, inviting reflection on the intersection of wild instinct and curated living.
Nearby, a ceramic bowl mended in the Japanese kintsugi tradition and a simple spoon add a contemplative still-life element, deepening the visual narrative and introducing themes of repair, ritual, and consumption.
Executed in rich oil on canvas, this piece combines classical technique with contemporary wit. A conversation starter and collector's gem, The Catch bridges the natural world with the human-made in a way that is both thought-provoking and visually captivating.Thomas Broadbent explores the coexistence of nature and human environments, depicting animals among the everyday relics of human life. His compositions offer poignant and poetic meditations on our evolving relationship with the natural environment.
Broadbent’s style balances scientific observation with a contemporary reinterpretation of the symbolism found in 17th-century Dutch still life painting. In his stage-like scenarios, he approaches his subjects with the detailed eye of a naturalist and the insight of a social philosopher. Through meticulous rendering and unexpected juxtapositions, he encourages reflection on the fragility of human dominance and the persistent agency of the natural world.

Located in Bozeman, MT
In 1993, a window of opportunity opened as a result of several different situations that were occurring. I was participating in an Artist-in-Residence program in Yellowstone National Park. At the same time, I had recently been asked to show my artwork in nearby Livingston, Montana. All of these events resulted in a major lifestyle change. My love of the outdoors and of fly-fishing drew me to make the transition. So here I am. I live in a small town nestled in the Rocky Mountains where life is the opposite of what it was in Los Angeles. - Joe Fay
