About the Item
52"x 106" large scale watercolor on paper by award-winning New York artist Thomas Broadbent, signed on reverse. A Contemporary Surrealist Still-life painting of books and papers, with red ladders. At nearly nine feet in length, this is an impressive statement piece. Beautifully painted, this watercolor depicts a stack of books, with an illusion of a scale shift with the incorporation of ladders, which could be perceived as immensely large or miniature. The imagery implies a reference to expansion of knowledge, or heightening awareness through written language.
This painting is signed on reverse by the artist. Please inquire about framing options.
Broadbent has shown extensively throughout the U.S. as well as internationally. Broadbent’s work won the Pulse Prize for best solo booth at New York's Pulse Art Fair. His work was subsequently featured in “Mission to Space” at the Children’s Art Museum in Manhattan. Thomas Broadbent's work is included in many important private collections, the National Museum of Wildlife Art, and the American Embassy in Moscow. Broadbent’s numerous solo exhibitions include the Visual Art’s Center of New Jersey, Croxhapox Gallery (Gent, Belgium) Voorkamer Gallery (Lier, Belgium) Inspace gallery (Beijing, China) and the Newark Arts Council. Broadbent’s work has been reviewed in The New York Times, The New Jersey Star-Ledger, NY Arts, The Brooklyn Rail and numerous other publications.

Bibliophile, Original Contemporary Abstract Book Painting, Modern Still Life Art
Located in Deddington, GB
Bibliophile' explores the energy of precariousness... are the forms perfectly balanced, or are they near to collapse? Using a carefully mediated colour palette which is by turns both recessive and complementary, I'm interested in the ambiguity of an image which might signify something both celebratory and chaotic, with touchpoints to the analog world of books and the digital world of data.
