Artist Comments
A man sits alone in a pristine corner office, surrounded by glass walls framing a beguiling sea and a distant sailboat, emblematic of freedom and escape. Inside, meanwhile, feels orderly and silent. The contrast underscores the cost of ambition.
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.
