About the Item

FIELD PROJECT is an acrylic on canvas surrealist painting by Brooklyn, New York artist Tony Geiger. It measures 60x48" and is a unique artwork. Note the moment captured by the painting – the woman or priestess (an artist?) with arms raised as the bio-mechanical rocket lifts into the sky. Note also the painting within the painting, portraying the scene we ourselves are looking at – a figure with arms raised, an object propelled toward the sky... From Tony Geiger – "I discovered this babushka-costumed woman in a New York Times review of Fiddler on the Roof. The figure’s gesture, arms reaching towards the heavens, sparked my imagination. In "Field Project", she stands in adulation (or triumph?), as an anachronistic, unidentified object launches into the sky leaving a plume of smoke. In this barren landscape, a third element, an easel holding a brooding abstract painting, completes the composition. Was it painted by the inhabitants of the flying object? Or is it a rejected offering from the young woman to the beings who are operating the flying object? One thing is certain: an unholy ritual has taken place!" Tony Geiger has said his paintings take you to a certain place, but you have to find your own way back. The world he creates encompasses both classical surrealism and more contemporary concerns. Conflict is usually present. These mischievous juxtapositions make statements on the human condition – either politically, physically or spiritually. Geiger wants the viewer to be challenged and amused by this mixture of the macabre and the playful. A graduate of the School of Visual Arts, New York and a longtime NYC resident, Tony Geiger still considers himself a transplanted Californian. He has exhibited paintings at the Sideshow Gallery in Williamsburg, the Barbican Centre in London, England, Miami Projects at Art Basel, Ceres Gallery in Chelsea, NYC, and he was accepted into The Drawing Center’s Viewing Program. Tony Geiger lives in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn with his studio nearby in Gowanus.
