About this artwork
The painter Millet had a profound influence on Vincent van Gogh. Vincent deeply identified with the painters raw and honest rendering of every day activities. I took two of Van Gogh’s protagonists, one based on Millet and the other on his self portrait of “the artist on his way to work”, in what appeared to be a confrontation between the two characters. I called it Millet’s sower punching Vincent, a metaphor for the influence that the one painter… had on the other. I chose a complementary mauve and turquoise backdrop to soften the blow, so to speak, between the two combatants. This painting is my statement on the fact that artist influence each other in profound ways.
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.
