About this artwork

A giant floating orb hovers above a grey beach. Three different couples stand before it, apparently as if they were drawn to the orb. What could it be and what is the attraction? The overall grey-ness of the painting adds a certain ominous feel to the image. As to why I painted this, I was viewing photos from Burning Man 2019 and was intrigued by a giant orb that had been created for the event. That one featured a totally reflective surface. I decided… to go the opposite way and create a black orb with just a hint of blue in it. Adding the couples being drawn to the image creates story appeal which is something I enjoy having in most of my paintings.

« 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".
