Piece description from the artist
This is the companion painting to "She Is The Night". Quite literally, you could say these two were meant for each other. The original concept came from when I was looking for a new way to continue my "Out of the Woods" series. I decided to create a woman composed of her hair and shirt, but her face and body would be replaced by a nighttime sky with a crescent moon hovering above some pine trees. I enjoyed painting that one so much that I decided to do my own strange male version. Same concept. And a very funky result and when you see the two together, it's quite stunning, especially in person !
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.
