Anthony D Green

Between painting and bas-relief, the recent works of Anthony D. Green demonstrate the artist's fascination with images, their central place in consumer society and their potential for transformation. Diverting the codes of advertising photography and computer graphics, he imposes a distance with the subjects, here from commercial image banks. Made from MDF, spray paint, acrylic paint, printed paper and assembled, they play with volumes and points of view, and disrupt the eye with formal games (shifting, repetition, etc.).

To avoid any narcissism the gallery will not bear a name, but instead mark of the end of a century during which the Fine Arts are exhausted of unknown practices and forms, Art: Concept was born. In 1997, the gallery joined its friends in the 13th district of Paris to be part of the adventure of the brand new rue Louise Weiss. Despite unforgettable years in this district, the move to the Marais was inevitable. Today, the gallery is located in a private passage (passage Sainte Avoye) and represents artists with whom it has been working for 25 years as well as young graduates. Trying to reflect the evolution of society, the gallery emphasises its proposals in a multi-faceted reflection on individuality and collectivity in a wide range of contexts. Like Janus, it looks both to the past and the future. Today's world is so in need of reference points that it's reassuring to invent a future, thanks to artists, as well as to compare it to the past. We invite you to ask for it, we will be at the gallery, very happy to explain it to you. ...
