ANTON MODERN ART
Embedded Files
The origin from which this style of art has been birthed and inspired, is rooted in African art and the exploration beyond realism. Like the European artist such as Braque, Modigliani, Vlaminck, Derain, Klee, Miro, Matisse, and the most famous of them all, Picasso, who were all strongly influenced by the sophisticated approach to abstraction of the human figure, I too have been Spiritually and Soulfully influenced by the Primitive Voice of the Dark Continent, The Black Indigenous, The Tribal....Movements such as Cubism, Fauvism, and Expressionism which were birthed in Europe, were influenced by African art, incorporating elements like dissonant colors, geometric forms, and fractured or distorted human forms.

Untitled Art frees the viewer’s imagination to creatively explore the art with absolutely no limits or boundaries. This allows the viewer more time to look and think about what is being seen. This individual way of observing, creates endless ways and potentials of how the art is being viewed. Such an effect causes the viewer to create his or her own interpretation of what they see.
The artist believes titles can sometimes be limiting for both the viewer and the art. Titles can bring immediate closure to the viewer exploring the art. All is seen in the title. Therefore, the viewer looks, but does not necessarily take time to see, what could possibly be beyond the title.
The artist’s goal is to help strengthen and create independent thinking and expression about what the viewer personally sees and feels through his or her own eyes, by simply using his or her own minds. This style of art has been birthed free of titling, so that the art can converse and articulate its own voice to the viewer. Anton quotes, “I want the viewer to remember the art by establishing a personal connection from the experience of visually exploring the art, possibly creating his or her own title.”

THIRD EYE SERIES
The Third Eye also known as the inner eye is located around the middle of the forehead, slightly above the junction of the eyebrows. It's a mystical and esoteric concept referring to a speculative invisible eye which provides perception beyond ordinary sight. In certain dharmic spiritual traditions such as Hinduism, the third eye refers to the ajna or brow chakra. In Theosophy it is related to the pineal gland. The third eye refers to the gate that leads to inner realms and spaces of higher consciousness. In New Age spirituality, the third eye often symbolizes a state of enlightenment or the evocation of mental images having deeply personal spiritual or psychological significance. The third eye is often associated with religious visions, clairvoyance, the ability to observe chakras and auras, precognition, and out-of-body experiences. People who are claimed to have the capacity to utilize their third eyes are sometimes known as seers...(Click to view)
