MEDIA REVIEWS
“Stained Glass Light shows his
subtle genius of capturing a
brief iota of movement. A
breeze catching the figure’s
hair is echoed by the gentle
slide of the strap of her
gown. Freezing this whisper of
movement bring’s Groth’s work,

Artist Statement for Thomas Groth
|
|
|
"When I create art, I approach it from a cinematic point-of-view.
I am not painting, I'm creating a world."
- Thomas Groth
"I mean by a picture, a beautiful romantic dream of something that never was, never will be - in a better light than any light that ever shone - in a land that no-one can define or remember, only desire - and the forms divinely beautiful"
- Edward Coley Burne-Jones
Thomas Groth is an uncommon figure artist. A classically trained draftsman, Groth works in pastel, oil, charcoal or prismacolor. His paintings recall the lush colors and figure work of the Pre-Raphaelites. The figures exist neither in the past nor the present; they are archetypes occupying a timeless world. Here is a world of tranquility, harmony, dreams and dreamers. Figures of sensuous innocence live here - geishea, mermaid, angels and daydreamers. The art bids one to stop for a moment, to push pause and then move on refreshed-a respite in an often overloaded, time-poor world.
Groth's references points are primarily late 19th and early 20th century painters and movements including J.W. Waterhouse, Robert Henri, the Pre-Raphaelites, the Newlyn School.
Thomas Groth has a bachelors in Applied Art from Iowa State University, a masters degree from the University of Illinois and studied at the School of Visual Arts in NYC.
His studio overlooks the Gulf of Mexico.
