Tony Collins is an abstract expressionist painter and sculptor.
His artwork is both powerful and intriguing - inspired by urbanism, nature and motion.
Tony combines a bold palette of colours with subtle and surprising strokes to recreate images of his travels into thought-provoking abstract landscapes, which he refers to as “an abstract representation of my soul's journey through life”.
He was born in Australia and grew up in England. He has travelled extensively around Europe, the Americas and Southeast Asia, and draws much inspiration for his paintings from those travels.
His popular charcoal “Happy Hour” series is a light-hearted study of various glasses and bottles. Some are defined, some are blurred; some are upside down, some are seen with double-vision. Whether the glass is half empty, or half full is up to you!
