New Work – Fall 2011

I’ve been working on a few new pieces this semester. The work deals with both personal narratives taken from my own Zen practice and visual iconographies from historical and popular culture.

Darth Mudra

A pair of Darth Vader gloves in the traditional dharmakaya mudra of zazen.

Fist Bumpin Buddha

A bronze cast sculpture of a Buddha… ready to fist bump.

#sculpturefail in Ann Arbor – A Review

My work was recently reviewed by Mark Adams of MadeWithPassion.com:

I can imagine the artist trying to come up with the most absurd piece of modern sculpture to fit the name, finally settling on just grabbing a bunch of unsharpened pencils into a bundle, letting go, and thinking, “Art, lolz.”

Finally, someone who gets me.

The work is on exhibit from Oct. 20th – Nov. 28th at The Gallery Project in Ann Arbor, MI.

An artwork titled “#sculpturefail” by Anthony Fontana. October, 2009. 700 pencils in a pile. Each pencil says “#artfail”.
