Holding a cup of coffee, an NYPD officer heads out to investigate. As snow falls around him, he becomes fixated on a clue, both literally and figuratively, leaving him out in the cold. Across the street, a warm and inviting glow beams from the windows, hinting at the comfort and life within the buildings. Artist Keith Thomson uses a combination of oil paint and ink in this 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.
