Piece description from the artist
In creating this piece with acrylics, I embraced minimalism and symbolism to portray a serene yet powerful scene—my on-going man in a bowler hat, this time seated on a piano bench. He's a solitary figure before nature's expanse, hinting at the profound interaction between humanity and the environment. The simplicity offers a tranquil energy while symbolically suggesting introspection and harmony. It’s a reminder of the quiet strength in stillness, destined to bring a calming yet thought-provoking ambiance to any space. Its simplicity is music to my ears.
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.
