About the Item

GIOTTO ANGEL WITH CIRCLES AND STAR is a new oil on wood surrealist painting by Brooklyn, New York artist Tony Geiger. It measures 20x24" and is a unique artwork. This angel is a one of several in the Renaissance painting by Giotto di Bondone, entitled "The Mourning of Christ", originally painted in 1304-06. Typical of the artist's practice, he has selected a wonderful detail from art history and while maintaining a 14th century tone and sensibility, has collided the image with a contemporary framework. In a sense, having his cake and eating it, too. 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.

"Strange Angel", oil painting, figurative, guardian, wings, spirit, orange, gold
Located in Toronto, Ontario
"Strange Angel" is an oil painting with chalk and graphite on wood panel, and measures 12" high by 12" wide. It is finished with a clear resin across the surface, lending the artwork a particular warmth and liquidity that is rare and lovely to behold. Typical of the artist, the painting is a mystery despite its apparent simplicity – possibly a winged creature or person in the presence of another person. Note the restrained color palette, the subtle toning of the wood surface, the bodies rendered and bodies suggested. The surface is very interesting – drawn lines and painterly brushstrokes to be sure, but also the toned wood coming through as color and texture. All of it held, as if in time, by the resin layer acting as a lens to both transmit this picture and admit light to the picture. A true artifact. From Will Hudson...
