Friday, May 13, 2016 at 8:00AM 
(click photo for larger image)Anderson Chase Gallery is announcing an upcoming exhibit featuring the work of Ossining, NY artist Tom Wills. Tom’s has been a life working with his hands—building custom houses, blacksmithing, farming, lumbering on a 130-acre rural Maine homestead, working on the restoration of the Watts Towers in California, and working on an architecture school in Boulder.
Ossining New York artist Tom Wills creates art inspired by our everyday humanity and its dynamic energy. The ethical tensions of our world are a major theme in his work—along with the expanding universe and its puzzles, as seen through the lens of science.
Tom combines different printing techniques and hand coloring in a variety of ways, using a broad range of inking techniques and materials. He also brings many years of carpentry to his work, using an array of tools. Metaphors for his art emerge from his sketchbooks, photos, computer graphics, and combinations of these resources.
Tom also creates series of multi-material collages made from various “bits and pieces” as well as “backyard works” (dubbed Don’t Fence Me in)—comprised of painted collages called Scats. Tom has just completed a series of wood sculptures, as well, called In This Neck of the Woods.
The art of Tom Wills will be on exhibit at The Anderson Chase Gallery, at 65 Old Bedford Road, Goldens Bridge, NY, from 5/27 though 6/11. The Opening Reception will be held on Saturday, May 28th from 3:00 – 6:00 PM.
