Art Brokerage: Thomas Easley American Artist: b. 1949. Thomas Easley is a figurative American painter known for his bold, kinetic artwork that straddles the line between impressionism and abstract art. He was born in Oroville, California, and raised at Lake Tahoe in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. He has spent most of his adult life in Europe and Asia. His work reflects a lifelong effort to live in the moment and share how he sees the world – dynamic, multidimensional and full of contrasts.Easleys' painting style melds the traditional with the new to create a blend that is uniquely his own. Using palette knives to layer and sculpt paint on board, Easley creates a rush of color, texture and form that amplifies contrasts on multiple levels. A sense of presence is visible in his art, whether in the movement of his nudes or the joie de vivre of the roosters that roam his canvas. He creates images with energy and light that evoke a visceral connection with the viewer. Listings wanted.
