So far...

20/10/2012

So far, the culmination of the residency as moved away from the painting to see the constructions develop and it has been interesting. I do need to keep the paintings in mind, but this site will most likely continue to see the constructions move forward. I have got to the point where I have begun to use the landscape, but not in reality, but from the mind. The image below is where I'm at, seeing the place and my work come together, the whole thing being a small piece of artwork in itself.

Moving forward from here now, I can only see this model of work continuing, exploring various constructions in a setting, almost like working with large scale sculpture, but at the same time not.

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.

So far...
