Anthony cullen - Painter/Film Maker


Anthony Cullen is both a painter and filmmaker with an education steeped heavily in visual structure.
The themes that he explores in his work centre on existence and expressing consciousness.
His films also tend to have socio-realistic topics in them.

Anthony's paintings are largely portraits of people or animals and
collect character, story, subtext and place using only faces. The style is the familiar
contemporary environment of a TV or film screen with the frame size of the paintings
working out close to the aspect ratio of a wide screen TV and the de-saturated colours
simulating the colour schemes on many modern TV shows. He is also actively engaged
in the manipulation of his painted images digitally in a separate project.
