“My interest is not only WHAT (subject) I’m painting but HOW (process) I physically make a painting. Half my subject is the painting itself.” For over 40 years Tom Ackerman has followed his passion for the canvas, for oil painting, dripping or pouring, creating rough surfaces, textured, or without varnishes. As he says, “A brush has not touched the final surface.”
Based on the iconic 1917 painting “The West Wind” by Tom Thomson, ,” I often appropriate famous historical paintings and alter them significantly to fit into present day culture.”
