This art gallery is for the display of fine art oil paintings on linen canvas cloth. These paintings are carefully reproduced as one of a kind (OOAK), limited edition, archival, giclee prints on canvas, numbered, signed and individually embellished in oil by the painter. The prices listed are for giclee canvas prints. Prices for the original oil paintings are available upon request. If you would like to host a show of the painter's work please email. The painter will display up to 34 original oil paintings in a show of his work.

The painter often does multiple "studies" before executing his final, finished interpretation. These studies are "looser", freer in style, with visible brush strokes, but lacking the careful verisimilitude or "photographic realism" of the more polished final work and as a result requiring far less time to accomplish. These studies are often displayed in galleries and shows and they will also be displayed in this gallery, often alternating with the final production.

This web site is designed, created and managed by Tom Jewusiak.

The images on this virtual art gallery are of necessity digital images and cannot compare to the oil paintings upon which they are based. The oil paintings must be photographed, the photographs developed, then scanned and the resulting digital images reduced and manipulated in such a way as to be practicably presentable and transmittable through the internet. The original scanned photographs are over 150 MB; the images on this online art gallery are only 100 KB or less than one-thousanth the digital data of the original scans. The giclees are also based upon these original digital scans and should be considered separate and distinct works based upon but different from the original oil paintings. In so far as light shines through or emanates from the digital images on this website they may seem more dimensional and since there is so little digital data the digital images, strangely, may seem more lifelike because the mind editorializes, filling in the missing detail. (I have noticed that realistic art often “clarifies” itself as you step back from it becoming more lifelike. I once believed that this was the magic of the painter but have since come to believe that it is we the observer who fill in the details, just as a hunter “clearly sees” a deer from the distance in a ball of cotton fluff. The trick for the painter is to give us just the right amount of detail in the right places for this mind trick to take hold.)

Come and see the original paintings. I still have viewers ask, “how do you do it, what’s the trick?”: with pigment suspended in linseed oil applied to thick linen cloth with animal hairs attached to the end of a wooden stick.

Tom Jewusiak's oil paintings had been on display at the Henegar Center for the Arts in Downtown Melbourne, at a juried show at The Fifth Avenue Art Gallery in Historic Downtown Eau Gallie, and another juried show sponsored by the ArtistsRegistry at the CityArts Factory in Orlando Florida. Three of the painter's oils were chosen for display at Visions 2007, a juried art show sponsored by the Strawbridge Art League. At that show the painter was awarded the Thomson Award For Oils.

Harry Messersmith, the judge of Visions 2007, wrote of the painter’s work: “The excitement of the experience lay in its incredible detail. Finely drawn architectural elements pop out of the picture plane because they are so well drawn, then meticulously modeled in lighted shadow. Take a very close look. It is a high compliment to the skill of the artist when the work holds together and reveals even more secrets upon close inspection.” Speaking of the painter Florida Today quotes: "There are times when the detail will carry work into the realm of magic realism because the light and shadow are so crisp that the architectural volumes pop out like they're three-dimensional. That's the magic..."
