Pink Floyd The Wall Ant Art at The Monkey Thurgoland

The Pink Floyd wall inside the Monkey Thurgoland is Anthony’s tribute to the band that has fuelled his life with so many visions.  The internal chalk work has now been featured twice on different walls.  It sets off several conversations and brings many memories to life.  From just a few key words imaginations are set in motion.  The brick structure featured as Car Park Art has unfortunately been vandalised.  The broken bricks still mark the act carried out by those who chose destruction over creation.  Some of the external exhibits have been stolen as well as damaged.  The chalk has been revived inside and the external structure may yet rise again.  From the ruins left after destruction there is always a new construction available.

The premiere exhibition at The Monkey Gallery opens on Sunday 22 September 2013.  The gallery is open from 1pm til 6pm.  There is a live installation performance from 2pm to 6pm.  There will be more information soon on www.mmant.co.uk

Anthony has been appearing in Boomtown on BBC3 in 2013.

Monkey Sign of the Times

There is always something new to see in the art gallery at the Monkey in Thurgoland. These pictures record 10 new signs just added to the collection at the Monkey. The signs are inspired from others seen in various locations where they have been displayed as street art. Some of the texts have been radically altered to fit to their current location. These signs have come in from the streets for a change of atmosphere, but they are also traveling along new roads and virtual highways now.  Here we can examples of 'Street Art' coming into to a gallery and going out not through the doors but along the lines of the World Wide Web as they find a new audience.  Please feel free to alter these signs and to reuse them wherever you see an opportunity for them to flourish.

Anthony is currently appearing on Boomtown on BBC3 at 10pm on Wednesdays.
