About the Item
TOUR (GIANT) is a new oil on canvas surrealist painting by Brooklyn, New York artist Tony Geiger. It measures 50x40" and is a unique artwork. A classic Geiger with a deceptively simple storybook scenario – the cottage in the background, a businessman and giant in the foreground stand beside a quaint table with large and small cups, large and small cakes – of course, the giant carrying a dinosaur bone wearing the American flag can be interpreted any number of ways... has meaning and authenticity been drained out of our world? Are we all part of the spectacle now?
From Tony Geiger – "In this dreamlike scene we encounter a giant chaperoning a young man. It appears the two of them have been invited for tea and scones. The ritual that is about to take place in this deranged fairytale is a mystery. In the background, there’s a 19th-century European cottage. The giant has an oversized femur bone hanging from his neck. A tattered American flag serves as his only garment. Gladiolas lie at his feet. At some point in the future, the USA will need to go on a world apology tour. Perhaps this is what it will look like."
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.
