Tom Blood
Piece description from the artist
A man in a bowler hat is standing still in what appears to be a lake or perhaps a sea. Waters are calm and they are very reflective of the sky which is shades of pink, blue and white. It's unclear how he got there or what he's doing. Perhaps the title of the painting gives a clue as to the true meaning of this painting.
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.
