Piece description from the artist
A man stands atop a bird's head which is perched on a wire. For some reason, I was thinking about the phrase "Bird On A Wire" and didn't really know what it meant. I decided to give it an entirely new twist by painting one with a man in a bowler hat standing atop the bird's head. This is part of my on-going tribute to Rene Magritte, done in my own peculiar way. It's a quirky little painting so of course, I like it and hope that you do, too!
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.
