Tom Relth who keeps his studio in downtown Vancouver, Washington; is both a contemporary abstract and landscape painter, working generally on larger format canvas, paper and wood panels. Often Relth incorporates complex forms from nature into abstracted landscape.
He uses both traditional tube paints adding dry pigments, such as minerals, dried herbs and spices such as found in found in mediterranean cuisine.
Relth offers a potent look at abstraction and use of color. The images depict a kind of atmospheric light and a suggestion of matter at its inception. Works are often fluid and occasionally focus on form, and often imply an intangible depth. The works have both a vibrancy of color and a paradoxical calmness.
The artist has developed a special process that includes the use of ground minerals (blues and pinks) and dry cooking spices like turmeric (yellows), paprika (reds) and cumin (earths), mixing his own paints with glues and resins. The process suggests early European paint methods and the Japanese process of Nihonga.
