Tom Blackwell - Modern & Contemporary Art New York Wednesday, July 17, 2024 | Phillips
  • “Each of my paintings is the result of a painstaking, analytical, and loving translation and transformation of that visual material into paint. I love the way the camera freezes a particular moment, capturing a kind of found surrealism that is the essence of contemporary life.”
    —Tom Blackwell
