Dissecting what he sees as the frivolities of pop culture, Antony Micallef makes art that questions the direction of our celebrity crazed society today.
Generally, his works use juxtaposition to reveal "the saccharine seduction of colourful [...] consumerism alongside its dark and troubling underbelly." This complexity and brutal beauty explain why Anthony Micallef has become one of the most promising young artists today. -antonymicallef.com
I was lucky enough to see the body of Antony's work in his last show in L.A. a few months back, and I have to say that every piece was amazing in person. The themes he explores are relevant up to the nano-second of the day...and that's just plain cool.
