Tom Everhart
Tom Everhart "I’m interested in light as a property of color, not as an illusion. Instead of trying to paint the illusion of light, I’m actually working with these transparent layers of light in themselves. The light is inherently part of the color."
The impressive Peanuts & Snoopy paintings, which include lithographs & lithography posters, prints and original artwork of Tom Everhart have always straddled the line between what is acceptable and what is radical in the fine arts. As the only artist given permission by Charles Schulz, creator of the Peanuts™ comic strip, to use his art as subject matter, Everhart utilizes the universality of the characters to communicate a new way of seeing. “I want my work to be very inviting,” he explains. “I want people to see the attraction in it, and be lured in.”
