In 1989, The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston originated the exhibition, New American Furniture: The Second Generation of Studio Furnituremakers" highlighting the work of twenty artists' work including Tom Loeser. His Chest of Drawers, inspired by a Chest-on-Chest from the museum's historical collection, was the most modern interpretation and clearly solidified his stature in the field. His work is characterized by the use of simple, meticulously crafted forms that emphasize carving, color and pattern. Early influences came from the Italian Memphis design collection, Postmodern design, Shaker design and his predecessors in craft. Here the mahogany is hand-painted with milk paint, a technique often found in Shaker painted furniture. This work was originally shown in Loeser's third solo exhibition at the Peter Joseph Gallery in New York City 1996, titled This Ain't No Floor Show. The exhibition featured wall-mounted rectangular boxes designed to be shown on a single wall. Loeser deftly deconstructs the chest of drawers, then bestows it with delicate whimsy, resulting in a masterful and utterly captivating composition.
