An original 1983 oversized oil painting on canvas by contemporary Cincinnati artist and inventor Tom Lohre, titled Rhett Fire and Todd Jefferies. The painting depicts the two figures embracing as they ride on the back of a wild bronco through a starry skyscape. The painting is signed to the lower left. Extensive information about the piece is attached to the verso, including the fact that the figures’ pants were repainted onto them in 2013. The painting is presented without framing, awaiting your choice of presentation.
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. The artist’s website can be found below.
