Since I discovered his work and wrote about him back in <a href=\"https:\/\/linesandcolors.com\/2007\/03\/13\/thomas-paquette\/\">2007<\/a>, I\u2019ve featured him on <em>Lines and Colors<\/em> five additional times (see links below); this post makes seven overall.<\/p>\n<p>Paquette has a unique style I find particularly appealing. On one level, his work appears naturalistic, beautifully composed scenes of woodlands, lakes and roadways and wilderness areas, that seem to sparkle and glow with color. On closer inspection, you can see that he is accomplishing this with ingenious juxtapositions of colors, often complimentary, at the edges of forms. These accentuate the forms, send the colors vibrating and give everything a scintillating glow. Somehow, Paquette manages to corral these elements into harmonious compositions filled with brilliant light and deep shadow.<\/p>\n<p>Paquette works both at a large scale in oil, and at an intimate scale in gouache.<\/p>\n<p>Both will be on display in an upcoming show titled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grossmccleaf.com\/exhibitions\/thomas-paquette3#tab:slideshow\"><em>Haven<\/em><\/a> at the new location of the Gross McCleaf Gallery, which has recently relocated from Center City to the Manayunk section of Philadelphia.<\/p>\n<p>The show opens this Saturday, May 3rd, 2025, with a reception from 1:00 to 4:00 pm. I have long considered the Gross McCleaf to be the most prestigious, and certainly most interesting, gallery in the city.<\/p>\n<p>Paquette has also just released a new book reproducing his recent small gouache paintings, titled <a href=\"https:\/\/thomaspaquette.com\/books\/\"><em>The Intimate Landscape<\/em><\/a>. I have Paquette\u2019s earlier book titled <a href=\"https:\/\/thomaspaquette.com\/booktitles\/\"><em>Gouaches<\/em><\/a> (which is still available), and as a gouache painter myself, I have enjoyed it many times over. I\u2019m very much looking forward to the new one.<\/p>\n<p>If you like the sample images above (all of which were drawn from the gallery\u2019s preview of the show), I can\u2019t recommend the show (and the books) highly enough.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thomas Paquette has long been one of my favorite contemporary painters.
