ÔFor the Love of PopÕ featured in ÔHÕs recent solo exhibition, ÔPop Goes the EaselÕ, which staged a collision between two of the twentieth centuryÕs most game-changing visual artists: Andy Warhol and Damien Hirst. Here, HirstÕs iconic, diamond-encrusted human skull (aptly named, ÔFor the Love of GodÕ) sports the wild and wayward, ice-blonde crop of WarholÕs memorable, 1986 self portrait. Tracing the lineage of postmodernism - from the undisputed king of the Pop Art movement, to the high priest of the 1990s YBAs - ÔHÕ blazes the trail for an art of intelligent irony in our contemporary moment.
From the Artist
Having made the photographic image, I wanted to explore the Warhol side of the idea. So I created this body of screen prints reflecting his own Self Portrait series. These replicate the colours Warhol used in his series of 6.
We’ve been working with Antony since 2016
Antony is a contemporary artist who uses graphic design, oil paint, acrylic and eco-solvent based mediums when creating: “the medium is secondary, I just set to work with what suits the end result I’m after ''. Inspired by iconic objects, we love the way each artwork is a true conversation between the paint and the canvas, to create painterly yet mesmerizingly lifelike works:
“Something that has the power to evoke an emotion, a memory, a visual time stamp, things that compels us to covet them. I find the coldest, most inanimate object can hold so much representation beyond its purpose.”
Antony studied graphics at college before partnering with Pez and becoming one of the foremost artists of the 80s Rave Scene. With a growing popularity, came a demand for commissions of murals and large-scale paintings which ultimately encouraged him to explore new options and adopt different styles. As a result, Antony took to the world of TV, initially working at the BBC and later at Pinewood Studios.
After an interlude into the world of creative directing, Antony returned to a more hands-on and practical approach to creating, generating art installations for exhibitions throughout the country for clients including Sony, LG, Pimms and more. Since then, Antony has continued to produce art through a range of mediums that never fail to surprise his audience.
