Anthony Pontius
This event has ended.
At 31 Grand
Media: Painting
Pontius' paintings (exhibited along side the drawing studies for each) examine the importance of the human connection to history and nature. By recontextualizing historical imagery, stories and concepts in the world of now , he presents a new narrative that is familiar yet the full meaning is not immediately accessible. Employing a mix of past and present techniques, he forms these new arrangements; using classical clarity to define a specific part of a story and at the same time abstraction to complete or destroy the formation of the work. The finished painting is a proclamation of something new and not easily defined, realizing that history and memory are not clear or concise, but the consequences of interpretation.
