About the Artist
Thomas Del Porte intends to tell a visual story within each stroke of paint. His paintings are made with thousands of little jeweled, thorn like curls, each stroke acting as an individual painting. He paints from direct observation in the attempt to capture a unique portion of the infinite qualities of light, line, color and spaces that nature provides. His goal is to communicate a visual quality that reveals something new within the movement and drama of the images he translates.
Thomas Del Porte’s interests range from the western traditions in painting to modern art. What is important and aesthetic to Del Porte as an artist surpasses most adjectives and falls within a lasting impression of the art itself. His hope is to persuade his viewers into a longing to lose oneself in the work, just as he has done in the process of creating it.
