The origin from which this style of art has been inspired and birthed, is rooted in Urban Industrial Architecture and African Art, mainly sculptures, textiles and masks. Like the Most Famous European Artist which were strongly influenced by the sophisticated approach to the abstraction of the human figure: Braque, Modigliani, Vlaminck, Derain, Klee, Miro, Matisse, and so many others, along with the most infamous of them all, Picasso, I too have been spiritually and soulfully influenced by the Primitive Voice of the Dark Continent, The Black Indigenous, The Tribal...Movements such as Cubism, Fauvism, and Expressionism which were birthed in Europe, were influenced by African Art, incorporating elements like dissonant colors, geometric forms, and fractured or distorted human forms.
UNTITLED ART frees the viewer’s imagination to creatively explore the art with absolutely no limits or boundaries. This allows the viewer more time to look and think about what is being seen. This individual way of observing, creates endless ways and potentials of how the art is being viewed. Such an effect causes the viewer to create his or her own interpretation of what they see. The artist believes titles can sometimes be limiting for both the viewer and the art. Titles can bring immediate closure to the viewer exploring the art. All is seen in the title. Therefore, the viewer looks, but does not necessarily take time to see, what could possibly be beyond the title. The artist’s goal is to help strengthen and create independent thinking and expression about what the viewer personally sees and feels through his or her own eyes, by simply using his or her own minds. This style of art has been birthed free of titling, so that the art can converse and articulate its own voice to the viewer. Anton quotes, “I want the viewer to remember the art by establishing a personal connection from the experience of visually exploring the art, possibly creating his or her own title.”
