Discover Original Art

Recently I had the privilege of interviewing one of our featured artist, Thomas "Tom" Brunger. His studio is located in an old print shop in the historic North Side in the city of Pittsburgh and is amazing! Paintings fill large spaces, hang on the walls, and are strewn across the floor. New works show the progession of time and development.
I have known Tom for over 35 years and have watched how one series of paintings leads to the next that leads to the next and on and on. Tom is inspired by life, nature, philosophy, mathematics, and politics. Intense colors express intense thoughts. Organic forms juxtapose mathematical forms. Then nature breaks through and paintings of tree branches intertwining make powerful statements.
To dine with Tom and his family is to dine with people who love to discuss every topic in life over wonderful food and good wine. Tom is interested in great conversation and the development of ideas. Often those ideas show up in his artwork.
Sculpture is Tom's love, too. You will be able to experience his works in the near future.
I hope that soon you, too, will be able to watch the video of the interview I did with Tom and enjoy his thought processes and the views of his works and studio.
