Tom Christopher and Urban Art

Tom Christopher
According to Wikipedia, "Urban art is a style of art that relates to cities and city life often done by artists who live in or have a passion for city life. In that way urban art combines street art and graffiti and is often used to summarize all visual art forms arising in urban areas, being inspired by urban architecture or thematizing urban life style."  Tom Christopher is an expressionistic urban artist, making paintings of New York City.  He uses bright and intense colors to express emotions and dynamics of the city.  His brushstrokes are clearly seen, giving a flow and spontaneity to the painting.  Some urban artists work in public spaces creating art, while Christopher prefers the studio and gallery.  Enjoy!
