Thomas Bochner
Born in Des Moines, Iowa, in January 1946, Tom Bochner spent his youth in the mountains of Colorado and the Midwest prairie. These sharply contrasting influences, along with a restless spirit and rebellious nature, helped shape his love of nature and appreciation for vivid colors.
Bochner came to painting by an indirect route. In the late twenties, following a successful career in sales, he opened an art gallery that metamorphosed into one of the more successful commercial galleries in the Midwest. Through this exposure to the art world, his latent for painting sprung to life.
In 1985 Tom created Bochner Design Group in Tampa Florida. An artistic endeavor that combined the talents of many emerging Florida artists whose work he exhibited at the Artexpo in New York City and Los Angeles for many years.
A major influence of his dramatic painting style was the late John Beardsley of Ybor City Florida. Tom studied and painted under the tutelage at Beardsley of his Studio of Contempory Art.
Bochner_s paintings can best be described as bold, vibrant and bursting with energy. His medium varies from oil, acrylic, and mixed media on canvas and Masonite. More recently he has merged his love of painting and digital photography, which he has uniquely translated into the medium of hand-embellished giclee.
Tom_s artistry continues to attract projects for corporate and private collections.
