Tom Lohre Original "Blob" Painting "Esquire Theater and Clifton Market"
Item Details
An original ‘blob’ painting titled Esquire Theater and Clifton Market by contemporary Cincinnati artist and inventor Tom Lohre, painted in 2015. The painting is an abstraction of the Esquire and Clifton Market with a tree and a street to the middle of the painting. It is signed to the lower right and there is an informational sheet to the verso. Presented without glass in a gilt frame with a wire to the verso.
Lohre’s “blob” paintings are created by melting 175 carefully selected colors of oil pastels onto a heated aluminum surface; their execution guided by a pixelated photograph in a manner similar to that which is carried out by the painting machine invented by Lohre using Lego’s Mindstorm Invention System in 2003. This method of painting claims to make the most of the least. Lohre attests to be the first to have ever painted a spaceship from life; he also painted the eruption of Mt. Saint Helens from life.
