About the Item
TO THE INFIRMARY is a new oil on linen surrealist painting by Brooklyn, New York artist Tony Geiger. It measures 22x28" and is a unique artwork. A tour de force by Geiger, this painting features his trademark juxtapositions of histories and symbols – the woman in late 19th century clothes marches purposefully along the path with a giant cricket or cicada on her back, the insect has been pierced by five arrows (to silence it? or a sacrifice?) – in the heavens are (left) Saint Catherine of Siena, and (right) Saint Gaetano da Thiene (after Tiepolo).
Saint Catherine of Siena was a 14th-century mystic of the Dominican Order. Her writings are still held in high regard by the Catholic church (notably, that "God sees you always"). She was decapitated in 1380, at 33 years old. Saint Gaetano da Thiene was a 15th-century philosopher who espoused the immortality of the soul.
From Tony Geiger – "The arrow-pierced grasshopper clings to the strutting 19th-century woman. The bonnet-wearing woman is purposefully rushing down a red earthen road, surrounded by otherworldly vegetation. Will she get the wounded creature to the infirmary on time? This tableau is kicked into dramatic overdrive with the appearance of two Tiepolo Saints in the sky."
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.

"Outskirts", acrylic painting, duality, nature, humanity, chaos, dream, myth
Located in Toronto, Ontario
"Outskirts" is an acrylic painting with collage elements on canvas, measuring 38" high by 44" wide. There's nowhere to hide in any of William's paintings, that's part of the charge coming off his canvases. That's particularly true with this painting – we immediately see that everything is wrong, hands coming out of trees, a human head on a horse or dog. Yes it's Mythic but even there it's wrong, the legs are impossibly crossed. In fact little of this painting can be true and yet here it is. Out of control, left over and residual ways and means of living life. Who or what are we now?
Press Release 2018: "Williams acknowledges a large range of influences on his vision: the moral lessons embodied in the works of 17th century engraver Jacques Lagniet, the darkling phantasms and tragic reportage of Goya’s Caprichos...
