thomas rapai
You might remember thomas rapai from the show about a year ago at lemberg gallery (above). I found myself thinking about his paintings today as I started a painting that's imagry contains hot wheels cars and plastic horses - rapai paints from ceramic figurines and trinkets. I found some recent paintings (below) that are of interest to me - I am fond of his painting style.

interesting, are these here localy? if so where
no, the top image is from a show that was at lemberg. the other images are from http://www.gallery40000.com/past.php in chicago. the artist was born and raised in detroit though.
FYI Rapai was in a group show at Revolution called so beautiful
yes...I meant revolution..opps!...I even wrote a review for the show!
i really like these paintings a lot.
Thomas lives in Ann Arbor, spends a lot of time in New York. He's done a pretty good job of getting his stuff out there, from what I can see. He did some sweet hotel paintings a few years ago. Kind of an arrogant prick, but a good painter. (I can say that, I'm an old friend of his. He'd be the first to agree with me about the arrogant part.)
i agree with arrogant and prick part
Is Thomas Rapai of Hungarian origin?
