Piece description from the artist
I am not a fan of either of the two primary candidates running for president of the United States. So, I've created two paintings – one featuring ex-President Trump, and the other featuring President Biden. In this version, I've put ex-President Trump in a barren, desert setting where he's perched on a podium, guarded by two Secret Service agents. He is blabbering to no one. I chose this setting because Mr. Trump seems to believe he's almost like an emperor, when in reality, I think he's "Emperor of Nothing", With all the congressmen and women, senators and governors we have, you'd think there would be someone better to step up – for both parties – to ultimately become President of the United States.
Tom Blood is a self-taught, modern-day surrealist, heavily influenced by his all-time favourite artist, Rene Magritte. Some of his early works include two crowd favorites – "Bobby Hull" which was created using a palette knife and "The Three Stooges" which was created using three primary colors. Since that time, Tom has pursued a more surrealistic path. He paints ideas. His goal is to paint the impossible, or at least, the highly improbable. With his paintings, viewers can always tell what's going on, not necessarily knowing why. He wants his paintings to tell stories that make people think, or bring a smile. His work has won numerous awards locally and he has had a number of solo shows in the St. Louis, Missouri area where he was born and raised.
