Tom Gaines is a contemporary American painter who works in oil. The subject matter in the earlier more representational work is recognizable, but it has strong abstract considerations. The more recent paintings (from "The Rock Series", Echo, Midnight Sun, Monarch and Sweet Tooth) are even more abstract... enigmatic in composition and more complex in surface and color. The surface appears eroded to reveal multiple layers of subjectively selected colors. Mr. Gaines is a graduate of The University of Oregon and The School of Visual Arts in New York City. He also has an MFA from The University of California, San Diego. He resides in Moorestown, New Jersey and has a summer studio in Belfast, Maine.
