Tony Mose | On Figurative

Everyone has a story of their past, present and future. These stories combine and influence each person’s daily activities and how they live their life. Some stories can lead to a life of existence and others a life of believing. Tony Mose’s “Coronation Series” is a study of characters you may see at random or on a daily basis. Though they are similar and connected, their stories are very different, complex and influenced by their past. As the patron or viewer, you are the one to create the belief. Tony simply provides a story. His figurative work develops intuitively as the brush, paint and canvas speak to whether a figure is more abstract or realistic. As such, the figures take on their own form with differing headdresses, cloaks and expressions as Tony’s own emotions are expressed in each painting. Tony also has a deep love of fashion, which informs his work daily.
