Tom Hoitsma Featured In Patron Magazine

Tom Hoitsma makes large paintings. An abstract expressionist with an equal love for scale as well as the administration of paint, Hoitsma’s work is unmissable. His first show for Craighead Green is entitled Deconstructed Landscapes. Though he lives and works in Dallas, Hoitsma’s work is undeniably inspired by natural landscapes as night-deep blues and horizon reds make appearances in most of his pieces. His brush strokes are broad, applied with intuition. A viewer easily finds subtlety in the layering of color as understated marks form at the edges of the aforementioned broad application. In his own words, the artist focuses on how “…specific combinations of marks and colors can create a vibrant and atmospheric visual experience.”
