About the Item
Artist Comments
In search of a justification for painting taxi upon taxi, Keith Thomson says he turned to history. Von Goethe wrote that yellow "is the color closest to light. In its utmost purity it always implies the nature of brightness and has a cheerful, serene, gently stimulating character. Philippe Starck once said, "If you are depressed, you put some bright yellow and suddenly you are happy. And no less a source than Van Gogh opined, "Yellow is capable of charming God." Or maybe it's their shape?
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.

- A Gig's a Gig, Original PaintingBy Keith ThomsonLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
Artist Keith Thompson paints an impressionist scene of a guitarist in an empty laundromat. He uses a muted palette of black, grays, and browns. In smooth strokes, he paints the man strumming his guitar and tapping his foot to the beat. Despite a smaller audience than anticipated, he loses himself in song.About the Artist
