Featured Artist: Anthony Goicolea
Anthony Goicolea's artwork captures what the artist calls a "sense of foreboding tinged with playful fantasy." Themes of sexuality, adolescence, and group-behavior collide with a world where complicated, and undefinable dramas unfold with little regard to logic or narrative structure. Anthony's work has captivated me since I was first introduced to it in 2004, and I continue to be astounded by his evolving vision.
In the artist's own words:
"These absurd predicaments strive to provoke conflicting emotions in the viewer. Scenes which would normally appear threatening, dangerous, or grotesque inspire empathy as well as fear, and ultimately are revealed to be more complex than was first assumed."
