TONY CALZETTA

My art explores drawing originating from my early paintings grounded within linear abstraction. My images are composed of shapes and forms constantly evolving from a highly personal visual vocabulary which started with subconscious doodling and automatic drawing. Over time I consciously incorporated external visual influences.

Often described as ‘abstract funnies’ or ‘surreal cartoons,’ my artwork straddles – and challenges assumptions about – high art and popular culture. My aesthetic is very focused upon ‘image as image’ and I believe in letting the viewer interpret and create their own narrative within the elements / components of my work.
