Tom Lohre Melted Oil Pastel Painting "Fountain Square ILVII"
Item Details
An original 2014 melted oil pastel painting on aluminum by contemporary Cincinnati artist and inventor Tom Lohre, titled, Fountain Square ILVII. The image depicts an abstracted interpretation of Cincinnati’s historic Tyler Davidson fountain in Fountain Square, which Lohre has painted over 50 times. Artist signature is hand-signed in red to the lower left. The painting is mounted in a decorative wood frame with cast embellishments and a bright gilt finish. Additional information about the artist is attached to the verso, along with a hanging wire. 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. More information about the artist can be found at his website, located below under Additional Information.
