About Tom Bolles
Tom Bolles received a BA from the University of Pennsylvania, he currently lives and works in Marin County, California. Besides being an architect, Bolles' father owned one of only three contemporary galleries in San Francisco, so art was ever present in his early life. During the mid-sixties, Bolles was attracted to op and psychedelic art. Despite being very different styles, both genres were similar in their use of saturated, brilliant colors. Bolles characterizes his art as, "an elusive balance of color, light and texture.” He begins his artwork with a digital sketch which leaves traces of binary code on the artwork. He then applies layers of color which fade to the end of the image with machine-like line making and precision.
