Tom McGrath (artist)

Tom McGrath (born 1978 in New Milford, Connecticut, United States), is an player based in New York City, USA. He customary his BFA from Cooper Union in 2000 and his MFA from Columbia University in 2002.

McGrath's painterly subjects often imply a upsetting vantage point and a windshield-like analogy surrounded by painting, surface and picture. His imagery evokes warm road-trip, scenic overlooks, optical blind-spots, landscapes of "fly-over" country, nocturnes of Los Angeles and urban sprawl. The fake seems to be depicted from the position of a car passenger, a tourist, a commuter, or a pedestrian. His take action uses contradictory painting mannerisms filtered through landscape images of both an iconic cultural descent and a generic naturalism.

His action is included in the public collections including, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, The Yale Gallery of Art, New Haven, The Wadsworth Atheneum, Hartford, CT, Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, Overland Park, KS, The Art Bank Program, U.S. Department of State, Washington D.C., The Orlando Museum of Art, Orlando, FL, The Flint Institute of Arts, Flint, MI, and The Neuberger Museum of Art, Purchase College, Purchase, NY.

He is represented by Sue Scott Gallery in New York.
