Tom Fawkes; porta giardino dei simplici; acrylic on wood; 49x70x3 inches; ohsu movable A well-known Portland artist, Tom Fawkes, renders beautifully detailed photorealist landscape paintings and constructions in acrylic., watercolor and pastel. Through the use of Trompe L'Oeil painted shadows and constructed elements, Fawkes is able to translate the light, space and atmosphere of an environment in a way that is immediate and involving. Fawkes shows his work regularly in Seattle and Portland as well as numerous invitational exhibitions nationally. Public collections include: Safeco Corp., Seattle, Kaiser Foundation, Portland, Western Bank Corporation, Los Angeles, Seattle Art Museum, Portland Art Museum and the Phillip Morris Collection at Oregon Freeze Dry, Albany, Oregon. Tom Fawke's most recent work will reflect his continuing fascination with the Italian landscape and gardens. This interest was fostered after receiving the Rockefeller Foundation Grant in 1987 in which Fawkes was artist-in-residence at the Foundation Center in Bellagio, Italy.
