Artist's Biography
A painter of marine and figurative subjects, Amos abandoned the use of brushes in favour of his hands, lending great immediacy to his paintings.

Antony was born in Bristol in 1950. From an early age, he worked with horses and as a nurseryman. This was followed by a career at sea working on trawlers, tugs and deep sea cargo ships. By 1980, he had begun to paint seriously spending more and more time experimenting with all subject matter, bits of card, scraps of material - all bringing different textures to the work. His preferred subject material was based on the sea - the working shipyards, scrapyards, ships and fishing boats that had seen life on the sea. His work later included architectural, horse and lifeboat subjects. He was further inspired by the weather, open space of he skyand colours of the atmosphere. His love of outdoor life gave him a unique feel for interpreting the many moods of his environment by the sea. His studio did not contain a single paintbrush - he worked with rags and his fingers.
