Tom McGrath

TOM MCGRATH is a painter who lives and works in Brooklyn. His most recent project, a 1,200 square foot ceiling installation, opened last winter at the Alexis & Jim Pugh Theater at Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts in Orlando, Florida.
Eight years ago I gave a visiting artist lecture at RISD that began with the provocation “nature doesn’t exist.” The auditorium squirmed. Too glib?
