Artist Comments
A bird's-eye view of a tennis court with two players in a singles match. Defined shadows appear close to the players, net, and ball, signifying that it is close midday. "This is an impressionist take on a tennis match with credit to the drone," jokes artist Keith Thomson. "Whereas in the past, an artist would have needed to rent the Goodyear blimp to attain this perspective."
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 90’s 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 an 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.
