An Evening Lesson | Original | Tom Ferrero

$175.00

In this beautiful original painting by Tom Ferrero, two figures hunch over a tabletop discussing a project, hands alight by a luminescent thermos.

This small collection speaks of vivid memories and sacred moments in time: Launching from an accomplished career as a jeweler and metal artist, Tom Ferrero was prompted to seek a spontaneous venture into large scale, colorful painted works. Sourcing inspiration from his daily life and photographs around the state, Ferrero credits Maine for it’s continuous inspiration. Described as contemplative and serene, the works approach realism while maintaining the gestural qualities of brushstroke and abstract plays on light and shadow. This piece was part of a collection titled “On Reflection”, an exhibition at the Center for Maine Craft in the fall of 2021.
