ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The piece is inspired by the small Australian outback town of Cooper Pedy. The town is referred to as the Opal capital of the world because of the quantity of precious opals mined there. Due to the dusty, dry desert environment and scorching heat, Cooper Pedy residents often live below ground in what is known as "Dugouts". The name Cooper Pedy comes from the Aboriginal term Kupa-piti, which means "Whitefellas Hole". The composition is influenced by the colours of the opals, the dusty desert and skyline, and the underground "dugout" residences.

Tony is an international selling Sydney based artist with a studio near the beautiful Blue Mountains and Nepean River. Currently he works predominantly with oils and acrylics on canvas but will also dabble with mixed media when the situation suits. ​Tony's artistic expression has gone through many phases over the years resulting in a unique approach and perspective, determined by an ideology rather than a recognisable aesthetic guideline. His brushwork is gestural and aggressive and he will use many different types of implements, techniques and mediums to impart interesting marks and textures. He is particularly drawn to the freedom of abstract expressionism, attracted to the fluidity of shape, colour and form as a vehicle for expression. He enjoys the unlimited creative possibilities and not being bound by the technical constraints other genres at times may demand or an over-concern for objective reality . All that is required of you is to have an open and enquiring mind. You have the freedom to explore Tony's work and assign your own meaning which is a very personal process and one that he hopes will enrich your experience of his art. ​Tony's wish is that you enjoy his work as much as he does in creating and bringing it to you and that his art brings a smile to your face or pause for deeper contemplation.
