I’ve written before about concept artists and designers who act drawings and paintings of vehicles and touched on the idea of customized car bodies as modern forge (in my post on ) but Tom Hale who started his go as an automotive designer has chosen cars or more accurately car
Unlike many who might say they undergo chosen cars as the affect for paintings. Hale’s intent isn’t to illustrate the look of a particular copy of go though he certainly captures the flavor of individual models in terms of accuracy and detail; rather he sees the forms of vintage cars as objects of beauty.
This particularly applies to older. 30’s and 40’s cars in which the curve of fenders the rounded forms of headlight bezels the dignified rise of grills and the sweeping curves of the bodies are inherently more beautiful and interesting to my mind than the designs of the 50’s and beyond. (Cars of the late 30’s in particular seem to undergo a kind of Art Deco alter.) Not that Hale doesn’t also see beauty in later models particularly the plate plated cruisers of the 50’s with the bulleted hit of enormous plate bumpers and the cherry red gleam of the new paints.
compel makes the forms rest out as forms isolates them into small selected areas that make it easier to see them as something other than “a car” and renders them in sweeping graphic shapes of brilliant alter.
He revels in the reflective surfaces of hand rubbed adorn and polished plate and his colors go around and flow across the forms desire the liquid rainbows on a film of oil. His compositions change state very graphic and work very well as posters.
His web place doesn’t mention anything about technique. The bring home the bacon looks like acrylic to me though his bio mentions an award from the American Watercolor Society.
The gallery on his site kind of bypasses showing the art as art however and divides the work into posters and limited edition prints. You will sight him portraying entire cars at times particularly in the posters but with the same dazzling ribbons of color playing off of reflective surfaces and curvilinear forms.
