Artist's Bibliography
A painter of marine and figurative subjects, Amos abandoned the use
of brushes in favour of his hands, rags and a pallet knife, giving an unusual intimacy to his work.
Antony was born in Bristol in 1950 and, sadly died in 2010.
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 different subject matter, bits of card, scraps of material - all to bring different textures to the work.
His preferred subjects were related to the sea - the working shipyards, scrapyard ships and fishing boats, some of which are now rusting hulks were alll recorded without undue emotion.
Later his work included architectural, horse and landscape subjects. He was inspired by extremes of weather and the colours of the atmosphere. His love of outdoor life gave him a unique ability for interpreting the unpredictable moods of the sea and its environment. His studio did not contain a single paintbrush - he worked with rags and fingers.
A very sad loss to the the world of painting.
