Tomás Lasansky (born 1957) is an American artist known for his drawings and paintings of iconic historical figures, such as Geronimo, Albert Einstein, Abraham Lincoln, Sitting Bull and Buffalo Bill. Lasansky is experimental in his artistic approach, often combining media in unusual ways, such as collaging prints into paintings and drawings. In his "flick" paintings, he dips his fingers into paint and flicks the color on to the canvas or paper from a distances of up to five feet away. By using paper masks, he is able to create realistic imagery with an otherwise impressionistic technique. He also uses colored calligrapher's ink flicked onto paper in a similar technique. Lasansky learned to be experimental in his graphic work during his time at his father's studio, sometimes attaching organic objects such as leaves or feathers onto the etching plate before immersing the plate into the acid bath. He has stated that running an entire edition of identical prints is unsatisfying, preferring to make changes during each print run, creating a series of similar, but unique prints.[1]

Lasansky is the youngest son of acclaimed artist and print maker, Mauricio Lasansky. Lasanksy studied printmaking with his father, later becoming his assistant.[2] He studied art at the University of Iowa and Alfred University, earning a BFA from the University of Iowa in 1978. In 1979 Lasansky was invited to exhibit his print Vulgo Quæsite (A State of Portrait at Twenty-One) at the Minnesota Museum of Art.[1] In 1985, he received his first one-person museum exhibition at the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art.[1]

Lasansky has one son, Rory Lasansky, one grandson and is married to artist wife, Charlie Lasansky. He lives and works in Iowa City, Iowa.[2]
