Anthony Bryant Art

British, b. 1960
Anthony Bryant began woodturning in 1973 after discovering an old 19th Century treadle lathe in his father's workshop. He was immediately fascinated by the woodturning process, especially the bowl form, and soon progressed to a motorized lathe where he spent several years before leaving full-time education, developing and refining bowl-turning techniques. In 1978 he began a career in commercial banking which, although good in many respects, prevented him from spending the same amount of time improving skills and developing ideas. He soon realized it was essential for him to work alongside a professional wood turner, and so during all his spare time and holidays he teamed up with a highly respected and skilled industrial wood turner, producing specialist parts for cathedral and church organs. Such work involves the use of ivory and other precious timbers and is to be found in amongst others, St. Paul's Cathedral, Sidney Opera House and Westminster Abbey. This exposure to skills and general work discipline, quite different to that required for bowl-turning, proved invaluable in demanding greater commitment and attention to his work. As the demand for his work increased he was able to resign from the bank in 1982 and immediately concentrate on producing work of a highly unique and individual nature, experimenting with the shape, scale and volume of the vessel form. Over recent years his work has become widely recognized for its development of exceptionally thin, translucent vessels in a style and on a scale not previously attempted. For this work he has used Figured Sycamore and Figured Ash, because they are visually beautiful and also possess an ability to withstand being turned paper-thin without splitting or shattering. Pieces range from delicate 'Pots' of 5" diameter x 5" deep up to large vessels 2' diameter x 8" deep and all 1/8" or less in thickness. Using unseasoned timber he produces large, expansive bowls which, while being rotated in the lathe, fling out all the sap within the wood cells causing the cellular structure of the bowl to contract and move out of perfect symmetry into a more individual and exciting shape. This movement is only possible when the thickness of the bowl is 1/8" or less; otherwise the stresses within the wood will result in splitting. This ability to move makes such work particularly suitable for areas of high humidity or heat, the bowl being so thin as to be able to flex just enough to prevent splitting.

Music Sonata In A Shadow Box
By Erik J. Erikson
Located in Lake Worth Beach, FL
Music Sonata In A Shadow Box 2023 Mixed Media, artist signed, front Plexiglas. This sculpture is perfect for the wall or a coffee table. This 3D music diorama found its home in a drawer from an antique Tansu Chest. Some of the 3D elements were made by Erikson. Antique materials achieve a vintage and interesting aesthetic. The depth of the case creates a stage like atmosphere as sort of a visual guide for the viewers eye. The overlapping and juxtaposition of the elements creates a intriguing and appealing composition. Very often Erikson art echoes and fuses antiquity and modernity. Erikson’s central imagery concerns itself with intrigue and a sense of surprise. His body of work is often dispersed with visual, tactile and intellectual delights that lead the viewer on their own form of discovery. Erikson’s awareness of the aesthetic in sending things back in time is a result of studying the Renaissance and other periods of art history. This infusion of historical art references has had a vital effect on his body of work. Heavily influenced by the well known New York art dealer Allan Stone (who represented, among other giants, Joseph Cornell, and Willem de Kooning, Erikson has never departed from Stone’s insistence that “surprise” should remain with a piece of art no matter how long it is viewed. The discipline of archeology decodes messages of the past to find meanings of objects and classify them. This observation takes the viewer on a deeper understanding of the interplay. As a curator of his own “museum cases” in other work, Erikson’s personal vocabulary evokes images of extreme preciousness combined in miniature settings. Despite its minute scale his work commands presence and a sense of vastness. In his body of work, Erikson attempts to introduce sculpture to painting as a way of integrating the second and third dimensions.
