Is There a Light at the End of the Tunnel

Acrylic, automotive spray paint

"I made this painting at the beginning of the year while I was struggling with illness and losing my job. I put all that frustration into this piece. It is done primarily with a pallet knife using fluorescent acrylic and automobile spray paint."

About the artist

Anthony Contini

Anthony Contini was born in Northeast Ohio in 1990. He graduated in Fine Art from the University of Mount Union in Alliance, Ohio. After completing his studies in 2013, he networked with other artists at Mr. McGillicutty Art Studios. In 2017, after finding an SX-70 Polaroid, Contini was drawn to the allure and magic of the instant camera.

In recent work, he has been using a gesso relief process in his mixed-media pieces, pulling images from 80s & 90s American Pulp culture to express emotion and stories through his art. Contini combines different types of media such as oil, acrylic, and auto spray paints with charcoal, chalk, ink magazines, and circuit boards.
