Mr. Tate has achieved international recognition and major auction sales through his work as a trompe l’oeil painter in oils. Of particular importance are the artist’s works depicting images of paper currency. Added to his craftsmanship are his unique and often ironic observations and themes, resulting in works that viewers and critics alike remember for their wit and insightful commentary as much as for their technical achievement.

Mr. Tate continues a regular study of his craft, particularly of the dynamics of color in his trompe l’oeil paintings. The result is that he is able to present his enthusiastic world view with excellence and taste. His refined classical techniques and craftsmanship transcend both old and new eras of art history, and assure him a place in the defining of an American national style.
