About Project Anteros

Discovery

Anteros is a London-based British artist, working across drawing, painting, sculpture, and installation. His practice centres on embodied experience and the human condition, explored through anatomy, and classical and contemporary mythography.

Across two decades of professional practice, he has exhibited in solo and group shows with galleries, institutions, and Arts Council England National Partners, including Firstsite (Colchester), Southbank Centre (London), York St John University, and Yorkshire Sculpture Park (Wakefield). He has undertaken residencies of up to three months in heritage, international, and educational contexts, and has maintained a studio within a publicly funded artist complex.

Alongside his artistic practice, Anteros has led and contributed to projects in curation, audience engagement, learning, and mentorship. He has also served as a director-trustee for two heritage conservation charities - including a two-year term as Chair - with a focus on strategic development, social diversity and inclusion.

A confident public speaker, he has delivered talks on the visual arts and creative industries to diverse audiences, including a notable address to the Government of South Korea at the National Assembly in Seoul.

Anteros’s practice explores the body as the primary site of experience, and a conduit to a conceptual cosmos of deep presence. Working across painting, drawing, sculpture, and environmental installation, his recent focus has shifted toward more intimate, studio-based work—two-dimensional pieces on paper and board, and sculptural forms in wax and clay. While integrating digital and photographic processes when appropriate, Anteros champions embodied, analogue making as a grounding act, and a pathway toward individual and collective healing.

Rooted in a classical understanding of human anatomy, his work increasingly embraces the deconstruction of the body to express human complexity, and to reimagine a contemporary ‘Ideal’.

The name Anteros, adopted in 2023, enables the crafting of a personal mythos. In Greek mythology, Anteros is the god of requited love, and of vengeance for love denied. This duality frames the work in archetypal tensions: connection and betrayal; tenderness and reckoning. Anteros becomes persona-as-process; a means to examine and transform complex psychological states.

The work invites quiet introspection through shared resonance. It positions art as a space for catharsis, grounding and healing—for the maker, the audience, and society at large.
