Item Details

oil pastel
Signed

An original 2016 melted glow-in-the-dark oil pastel painting on metal by contemporary Cincinnati artist and inventor Tom Lohre, titled Twilight Tree Line. The Neo-Impressionistic work depicts an abstracted landscape scene. Artist signature is hand-signed in pigment to the lower right. The painting is mounted in a decorative beveled wood frame with a bright gilt finish. Additional information about the artist is attached 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.
