Drawings.

So, since the last post, I have moved again to another aspect of this development; drawings. It is still part of the same work I have been making on the constructions, only since the previous post I have made yet another which proved even more successful. The paintings and constructions are moving along at the pace I see them staying at now, the work there is stable and able to continue along a defined path. The drawings, however, have been proving a challenge and in finding a way forward with them, I have tried several methods. As with anything I do, it has to be considered, time spent thinking more so than working practical pieces and through the whole process, I look for that way of working that is natural both to myself, the aims and the image. The three mediums; drawing, painting, constructions, need to be able to stand on their own and work in conjunction with each other for the same course and reason. 

The result as been the drawings made with brush and ink, executed quickly and without much thought.

The mindset I have been in of late as seen me thinking about ancient things, eternity, mortality and the fear of forced changes in my life. I would hope that my work is, despite being about such aspects of life, touching upon the emotions that lie at the core of everyone, those universal yet privately individual concerns that bind us with things not readily understood. I want the work to be more than a representation, or a symbol, or a record of my deepest selves, but a living part of me that was, is and will remain upon that eternal vastness.

They are a monument of male and female, bound together lives, having purpose, within the spaces where their life was, is and will be played out.

    Anthony Boswell is an artist who was born and lives in the Midlands.

    Anthony's work is based on the home, specifically his own home, containing issues concerning identity and context. What is sought is capturing ideas of intimacy by the affects of time and how this directs fears, doubts, hopes as well as daily activity. Anthony works within what is often talked of as a 'loop', where there is an attempt to exercise some control over the environment by controlling time within that environment. The loop is an endless return of the contents of Anthony's daily life, resulting in issues with what is not there as much as what is, thus creating a state of melancholic longing.

    There is a constant question of how much actual control there is over time.

    Anthony takes interest from modernist approaches to painting, with influences such as St.Ives and New York. He also works with constructions as well as painting.
