Anthony is
the 2005-2007 Studio Program Visiting Artist at the Des Moines Art
Center
He has taught
extensively at the Des Moines Art Center, the University of Kansas,
the Lawrence Arts Center and the Herron School of Art and Design.
His work has been exhibited at many galleries, universities and
venues nationwide.
This work examines the
importance of the human connection to history. By using past and
present techniques of painting and written histories, I invent my
own nostalgic experiences and narratives. I examine imagery, stories
and concepts from both the past and present and place them in a
shared setting. The established conflicts and connections found
in this union enable an image that is flexible for many audiences.
I implore traditional and contemporary practices of painting and
mix these approaches to form new arrangements. I may use classical
clarity to represent and to define a specific part of a story, and
at the same time use the ambiguity of abstraction to complete the
formation of the work. From this, a new myth develops. It is a story
that is familiar yet it has not been cultivated by anyone. The combination
of specific imagery and less comprehensive moments creates an accommodating
proclamation that allows the viewer to share the anxiety and beauty
of human involvement with its identity. This approach allows me
to represent our alignment with the annals of history. This display
of beauty and complexity of the unknown provides a foundation to
what we consider the past and present. As with history, these paintings
are not clear or concise. They are fluctuating consequences wielded
from contribution.
