Tom Blackwell

Thomas Leo Blackwell was an American hyperrealist of the original first generation of Photorealists, represented by Louis K. Meisel Gallery. He started out his career as an abstract-expressionist, but was moved to try his hand at the Pop art movement of the 1960s. It was with his Post-Pop paintings that Blackwell garnered early success. By the 1970s, Blackwell had abandoned his earlier Pop sensibilities and was painting in the newly emerging Photorealist style. His early large-scale paintings of motorcycles and engines, highlighted reflective chrome surfaces. His later works continued to build upon this series, and expanded to include a series of storefront windows scenes, which capture layered imagery reflecting from the glass. By 2012, Blackwell had produced 153 Photorealist works. Blackwell's paintings are in many prestigious museum collections.
