Underworld


This mixed medium came to life in 1996. It represents the subconscious which is chaos and out of which grows a friendly, tranquil garden. At least in art. The theme gave Tony the opportunity to combine abstract and almost figurative as two sides of the same coin in one drawing. It was shown in the retrospective in the castle in Hoboken. "One of the most striking aspects of abstract art's appearance is her nakedness... abstract art is stripped bare of other things in order to intensify it,its rhythms, spacial intervals, and color structure." (Robert Motherwell)
