Art by Anthony W. Gordon

Artist Statement

Artistic inspiration comes from my life experiences with family that is ignited from the concept of a caregiver, nurturer and nature itself. That concept of family does not necessarily mean related through blood ties but related as in the struggles of the human condition. This is something that we can all relate to and it creates a connectivity between all people as a bridge of life. In visualizing this and experienceing it I try to captivate moments in my artwork that a person can place themselves into. Its within my compositions there are family members represented which allows me to reflect on time in my life that I spersonal. Other compositions where people are not identified by name or even a person that is real but the emotional basis and concepts ar which is understood, felt and internalized by the viewer. All in all art is an emotional internalized communication that I have expressed through form and figure on canvas or some type of strucutre that is primarily for me first that I have allowed someone else to see and I hope that they admire or can connect with in a very simplistic way appreciating it for what it is an expressed part of me that becomes us.
