About the Item

Thomas Deaton (b. 1988), a contemporary artist with a background in printmaking and drawing, explores hidden stories of beauty set against the backdrop of forgotten neighborhoods in his recent body of work. Drawing inspiration from his personal memories, history, and life in New Orleans, Deaton constructs a mesmerizing perspective of life in the southern coastal urban landscape. In his narrative cityscapes, Deaton captures snapshots of neighborhoods on the brink of decay, contrasted by vivid sunsets and lush vegetation. These areas, perpetually submerged in a metaphorical flood, symbolize the overlooked and neglected aspects of urban life. Sinkholes devour houses and backyards, while lone pedestrians seek solace under dimly lit streetlights, obscured by a burgeoning canopy of lush foliage.

  • American Family No. 3
    By Travis Walker
    Located in Denver, CO
    For the last 10 years Travis Walker has made landscape paintings about Jackson Hole, a place that never ceases to inspire him to pick up his brushes. He works on location, capturing the essence of the seemingly mundane scenes around town: an old salon, a decaying house with a fence made of skis, a vintage trailer park. His work is influenced by the work of American regionalists Edward Hopper and Grant Wood, Japanese printmaking, and German Expressionism. Travis Walker is the founder and director of Teton Artlab, a nonprofit arts organization that provides studio space for artists. He was born in 1976 in Tokyo, Japan, and earned his BFA in Painting and Printmaking in 2000 from Virginia Commonwealth University. Recent group exhibitions include the 2012 Western Visions Show and Sale and the 2013 and 2012 Takin' It to the Streets Art Fair, among many others. Solo exhibitions include "American Dreams" in 2012 at Cowboy Coffee...
