About this artwork
Finally, in this series of the Apostle - Astronauts, I present the last human to have walked on the Moon. Like the image of the baby in Kubrick's "2001 A Space Odyssey", the Schmitt - Andrew visor, is totally filled with the image of a newborn baby. This baby, however, is in distress and not pleased, in-keeping with my theme, perhaps, of getting to the truth. However you may decide to see these paintings, it is your vision and interpretation of…
the images that matter. Regardless of my intent a painting either succeeds or fails in the eyes of the observer. All of the paintings were executed on paper and mounted on canvas. I employed both acrylics and oils to render the imposing figure and used an ink-jet transfer technique on the visor, altered or adjusted with watercolor and marker/pens. These were some of my most complex combinations of techniques I have used to make a painting.

Thomas Ackermann, trained at York University and The New School of Art, in Toronto Canada. He was mentored by some of the best artists in the country who taught at the NS of A. Over a span of 50+ years of painting he has developed a unique method and manner of application of paint to the canvas surface that confronts the viewer with the overwhelming feeling that in the case of Ackermann‘s paintings, "the medium is the message", a brilliant proposition coined by Marshall McCluhan. Unrestricted in his choice of subject matter, his paint surfaces transcend conventional expectations that engage the viewer more directly into his curious, artistic vision. In an interview, Ackermann once remarked, that his deepest motivation to make a painting, comes from his “romance with eternity”, which might explain the fact there is always a sense of the unexpected in his immensely diverse body of work.
