About this artwork
An open door to a stairwell in what could be a school or perhaps a hospital or some sort of office building strangely has a man with his back to the viewer hanging straight down from above. What is otherwise a completely normal situation has literally been turned upside down.
Inspired by a photograph I saw, it immediately brought to mind Jean Paul Sartre's play, "No Exit" and though the visual has no direct correlation to the play, other than the… Exit sign, the starkness of everything and similarity of the walls and door, lit by the neon stairwell light seemed like it's own kind of Hell in a way.

« I love to paint the impossible, or at least the highly improbable. I want my work to make you think, if it brings a smile to your face, that's even better. »
Tom Blood is an award-winning American artist whose paintings have been exhibited in the United States. Inspired by surrealism, especially by the works of René Magritte, many of his paintings have featured a man in a bowler hat, which is part of his on-going homage to the Belgian master. Blood enjoys painting "what seemed like it couldn't be, only it looked like it actually was".
