introDUCTion Painting

Award-Winning Acrylic Paintings by Thomas Geis I paint with acrylics on a variety of surfaces: canvas, canvas board, chip board, pressed wood, photographic paper, and other repurposed surfaces. My artistic inspirations are the patterns, angles, directions, conundrums, and inner visions that reflect our modern world and my imaginings beyond. My work is instilled with (mostly) positive energy in a colorful, bold, imaginative, and challenging environment. Tom started painting during the pandemic as catharsis from the turmoil, uncertainty, and isolation surrounding these turbulent times. He has won awards from the Madison Arts Commission for two works, Excubare and popArt2, which will soon be featured on utility boxes at the corner of East Main and South Webster Streets, one block from the Capitol Square in Madison, Wisconsin. He also earned an award of excellence for popArt1 on the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art Spring Gallery Night 2023. Tom is a Software Engineer Emeritus who retired from UW – Madison earlier this year.
