About this artwork
I have used the Millet/Van Gogh Sower quite often. I enjoyed how each iteration appears to take on new meaning. I decided to call this version of my sower, “ Vincent‘s inner tranquillity”, an alternative vision to, perhaps, “Duelling Sowers “ also one of the paintings in this series, or, “Millet’s Sower punches Van Gogh” (in my series: Retrospective Selections). As you can see, I approach my subjects with a playful attitude, which is conducive to…
my unique way of working the paints on the surface of the canvas. The elements of chance are an integral aspect to the outcome of an image.
I never know how something will look until I’m done. This uncertainty of outcome is crucial to the success of my work.

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.
