Thomas Darsney
Hopper's Chair

2023

About the Item

Thomas Darsney’s paintings reveal a palpable tension between the tactile sensuousness of fabric and the subdued brushstrokes of paint made flesh. United by this visual juxtaposition, the artist’s masterful compositions pay tribute and homage to various painting masters through the inclusion of art historical references. An auto-didactic artist, Darsney draws inspiration from a variety of sources, including The Boston School and iconic masters such as Vermeer, Rembrandt, and Degas. These artists’ attention to detail and adherence to classical ratio, coupled with Darsney’s own innate sense of structural integrity, inform his vision. He is also particularly influenced by the art on view in Boston museums and collections, and in this case he is paying homage to Edward Hopper's use of light.
