Between Digital Flux & Painted Matter

My practice examines the tension between digital immediacy and painted permanence, where meaning emerges through processes of reproduction and material intervention.

Presently Overwriting Pastisms is part of the Portal Suite, a series of 1-of-1 photographic prints that interrogate the rewriting of cultural narratives in a hyper-mediated world. This piece layers classical sculptures with vibrant graphic interventions, fragmented text, and abstract symbols, creating a dynamic visual language that critiques the instability of meaning in contemporary culture. The reflective Kodak® Metallic Paper enhances the sensory experience, evoking the seductive yet alienating qualities of digital screens.

The artwork collapses distinctions between high culture and mass communication, with its vibrant palette of yellows, blues, and magentas disrupting grayscale classical imagery. By incorporating visual elements associated with standardized digital interfaces and fragmented communication, the piece reflects on how historical permanence is overwritten by ephemeral media flows. This exploration resonates with Altermodernist principles of hybridity and multiplicity while inviting critical engagement with themes of cultural fragmentation and media saturation.

This one-of-a-kind photographic work is a striking addition to collections that value conceptual depth and material innovation. It is particularly suited for exhibitions exploring post-digital abstraction or cultural hybridity. For acquisition inquiries or exhibition opportunities, please contact the studio.

examines the intersection of high art, consumer culture, and abstraction through a playful yet critical lens. Centered within a meticulously rendered baroque-style painted frame, the composition juxtaposes disparate elements: a Vetements sock, a Matisse-inspired vase, and gestural abstract markings. These components disrupt traditional hierarchies of meaning, blending references to luxury fashion, art history, and contemporary abstraction.

The use of gesso and acrylic on canvas emphasizes materiality while evoking a sense of layered narratives. The baroque frame functions as both a literal and metaphorical boundary, drawing attention to the act of framing itself—what is included, excluded, or recontextualized in cultural discourse. The stark blue-and-white palette recalls porcelain patterns and classical motifs, further blurring distinctions between high art and consumer aesthetics. This work invites viewers to question how visual and cultural narratives are constructed, disrupted, and redefined in contemporary contexts.

This one-of-a-kind piece is a provocative addition to collections that value conceptual rigor and aesthetic innovation. It is particularly suited for exhibitions exploring themes of cultural hybridity, consumerism, or the deconstruction of artistic traditions.

Abstract painting by Anthony Vizard featuring a precise geometric grid disrupted by an organic shape, fragmented architectural forms, and vibrant blocks of blue and orange on canvas, critiquing architectural memory and digital abstraction.

GRIDLOCKED HISTORIES, 2018

Acrylic, aerosol paint on canvas
31 3/8 x 31 in
(79.5 x 79cm)

Gridlocked Histories explores the tension between architectural permanence and the fragmented realities of contemporary abstraction. Utilizing acrylic, gesso, and aerosol paint on canvas, the composition juxtaposes bold geometric grids with fragmented architectural forms, creating a visual dialogue between structure and disruption. The grid—a recurring motif in modernist art—is rendered with precision but is punctured by an organic shape, zoomed in and cropped to suggest no discernible beginning or end. This disruption introduces a sense of fluidity and impermanence within the otherwise rigid framework.

The controlled use of aerosol paint, applied in a masked and textureless manner, evokes digital disruptions rather than traditional painterly gestures. This technique contrasts with the tactile qualities of gesso and acrylic, further emphasizing the interplay between analog and digital aesthetics. Vibrant blocks of cobalt blue and fiery orange punctuate the stark black-and-white palette, creating moments of rupture that destabilize the composition’s formal balance. The work invites viewers to reflect on how histories are preserved, reimagined, or lost within contemporary visual culture.

This one-of-a-kind artwork is a compelling addition to collections that value conceptual depth and aesthetic innovation. It is particularly suited for exhibitions exploring themes of architectural memory, abstraction, or the deconstruction of historical narratives.
