Tom Neely is a cartoonist of the finest kind. His narrative imageries of inner struggle- both beastly and human- are painted in clean precise ink strokes bordering between fine art and calligraphy. The new series of paintings continues the story of the same character of his recently released graphic novel, “The Blot”. Unlike his novel, the omission of the entire background gave more prominence to the subject while it creates a rhythmic meditation that is straightforward and personal.
Neely’s solo debut in Los Angeles was presented no less by the Black Maria Gallery, a real gem tucked in one of the most promising artistic corners of Los Angeles- Atwater Village.
