Artist Comments
A solitary figure sits in a dim bar, casting a silhouette against the brightly lit exterior. Rows of bottles line the shelves and reflect the subdued lighting, while multicolored shadows hit the floor. Outside, a person approaches the door. As the title suggests, the piece delves into new beginnings. Artist Keith Thomson uses oil and ink to create the 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.
