Solty’s landscapes are at once inviting and uncanny, orderly nature meets human imposition, each blurred edge suggesting emotional latency. The piece reflects his ambivalence about belonging and perception: he simultaneously documents and distorts, using exaggeration to challenge romantic ideals of nostalgia. The result is a poetic meditation on beauty in decay, and the dissonant emotional landscapes we carry within.
In Imperial Motors Tom Solty stages a contemplative scene that juxtaposes nostalgic serenity with industrial disruption. The painting evokes childhood memories of fantasy landscapes, video games, amusement parks, but renders them through the context of modern machinery.
