Alhough not created to intentionally deceive, the paintings of Anthony tremmaglia demand a second, closer look. neither collage nor photography, and without any form of digital manipulations, his large-scale works are skilfully rendered from acrylic and charcoal on a single surface. recognisable elements of flesh and stone are distorted and pulled apart, creating new biomorphic forms which are familiar but unknown, sculptural and yet still two dimensional. engaged within these contradictions, the viewer is able to build links with the work, contemplating on ideas of relationships, identity, representation and abstraction. tremmaglia is based in ottawa, Canada.
