Interests and Personality

BiographyClayton Thomas’ work seems to have been painted eighty years ago, there is something familiar in his forms, yet he is altogether new. He takes the most common and timeless genres of painting; religious imagery, the still life, and the nude and redefines them. His subjects are deconstructed using flat panels of color and bold outlines, similar to the work of many German _expressionists, to be reassembled into a contemporary commentary on modern art. This transition from a fauvist inspired cubism to a more complex redefinition of the subject matter is done through subtle transitions in both palette and shape.

I like your great sense of composition, and color placement. It takes a big risk in attempting so much of it, and you seem to know where your colors tell you to put them!

Your lemonade with roses is really nice!
