Holding a cup of coffee, an NYPD officer heads out to investigate. As snow falls around him, he becomes fixated on a clue, both literally and figuratively, leaving him out in the cold. Across the street, a warm and inviting glow beams from the windows, hinting at the comfort and life within the buildings. Artist Keith Thomson uses a combination of oil paint and ink in this artwork.
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.

About the Artist
When James Hartman was in art school, he became fascinated with the Society of Six, a group of artists who painted en plein air (outdoors) and exhibited together in the San Francisco Bay Area during the early 20th Century. James's paintings of the Northern California landscape...

"This piece depicts the endless world of color and inspiration, created by the force within us all," says artist Miranda Gamel. A pop art-style portrait of a roaring tiger with a glowing pink crown. Surrounded by fluid swirls of color and drips of paint. "Loud, vibrant, alive. The love for life will melt into the air and fill your lungs."
About the Artist
The daughter of two artists, Miranda Gamel grew up with artistic aspirations. “When I was young, I couldn’t imagine that I would be anything else… it only seemed natural,” she says. She further developed her skills with her teachers (and fellow UGallery artists) John and Elli Milan. Miranda’s paintings exist on the edge of the surreal and the fantastical while remaining grounded in human emotion. Each painting, through its dynamic imagery, conveys the spirit embodied by the composition’s subject. Miranda’s ultimate goal is to portray each individual “being their true, raw, authentic self.”
