​Smudges of my love and guts.

I paint in acrylics using scrapers, rollers, knives, and other random, broken tools made by accident.

I started painting in 2014 to work through stress.
​
I became a full-time artist after a cancer scare.

I quit corporate life in 2016 and never looked back.

​My work is inspired by interior city landscapes; grit and textures I loved as a kid in South Boston that have stuck with me my whole life and can be seen in abstractly in my work today: brick, concrete, ripped stickers on light poles.

​It's the juice & still makes me squirmy.

Tobi Beck Southern California abstract artist and digital artist

If you're into fine art fruit bowls, there's disappointment in your fruiture.

My name is Tobi Beck. I am a visual artist based in Southern California. ​​I paint intuitively in acrylic; relying on openness and in-the-moment honesty to release my feelings into smudges of freedom. Born and raised in the projects of South Boston, the gritty textures of the city can be seen in my grungy mark making, reminiscent of old, stained brick and ripped stickers on light poles - memories and a moodiness that inspires my abstract, edgy style. Give me a street corner in the rain any day. GOLD.

​You'll also find my work includes minimal, geometric paintings and graphic marks - still fluid in feel but from the structured parts of me that love good design. These are also acrylic or mixed media. My geometric style blends perfectly in the layered compositions I design digitally, allowing modern prints in calming color palettes with mid-century vibes. Giant brick wall inside an industrial loft with modern furniture and big geometric art. GOALS. 

Get lost in the work while I get lost in the process.
