Anthony Amos is a Chicago area artist who utilizes a variety of mediums to redefine what is accepted as “Art” by developing a style that bonds “high” art and “low” culture. Infatuated with the Pop Artist Movement, Anthony sought to use the outbursts of popular images as the outcry of a withdrawn child. Anthony’s use of bold lines & striking colors combined with themes of alienation, heroism, depression, and fond memories tuned down his more objective life experiences and provide a subjective, emotional expression.
