Oil and Clay

2024

About

Inspired by a town filled with Artists , sculpture , paintings and art galleries, Tony began painting and sculpting during the summer of 1996 after spending some time in Dinard  Brittany, France.
A background in print , a love for stop motion animation and photography all come together in recent works , prompting social commentary and observation of the world around him and those closest to him .

Most painted works are finished in oil on canvas or wood panel. Sculptures are fashioned from wood , paper , clay
or whatever material is flexible enough and available.

June 2025


A busy start to the year with 3 commissions for small sculptures and a large garden sculpture aptly named “The Gardener” that I have made a series of drawing of , but as yet have not built the armature for .

The video above is of a small sculpture entitled In the Open Air, which I finished and delivered in May.

My “Aether” series of three heads was very well received and judging by the interest shown in the larger heads I have a feeling I maybe doing more of those this year.

My website is long due an overhaul , but please check out the most recent paintings especially ‘Downcast” , a collaboration with digital artist and sculptor Alberto Cositez  . The final piece was painted by me in oil on board.
