Tom Lohre Original Oil Pastel Melted on Metal Painting "Clifton Fountain, Firehouse, and Ludlow Avenue"

Item Details

An original oil pastel melted on metal painting titled Clifton Fountain, Firehouse, and Ludlow Avenue by contemporary Cincinnati artist and inventor Tom Lohre, created in 2015. The painting depicts an abstraction of buildings and places in Clifton, Cincinnati, Ohio. 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.
