What is not apparent on the surface of the canvas is the time the artist has spent reading, writing and researching in the lead-up to their creation. Newspapers and books play as much a role in his work as the paint itself and writing his own thoughts on social and political issues and current events are crucial to his creative process.
In this podcast conversation we touch on those ideas but Anthony also makes many insightful observations about the creation itself.
Born in Australia, Anthony is now Paris-based and is represented by several galleries in Europe and Australia. His first museum show, titled ‘Mobilising Material’, was held at the Mark Rothko Art Centre in Latvia in 2022.
He also returned to Australia last year on a creative fellowship at the National Library of Australia where he researched Sidney Nolan‘s commissioned mural of the Eureka Stockade. (See below for a link to his presentation relating to that research)
He has been awarded the Marten Bequest Travelling scholarship, amongst other residencies, and his work is held in public and private collections internationally.
