OMNI new paintings by Anthony Palomo

My paintings pry and dissect nature and memory to develop an ideal wreckage. Cubism is God’s clutter, an omnidirectional view, facets at all angles. I perceive and slit my roses within their all-seeing entirety whereas my Miasma Series breaks down cubism into abstract form. A frenzy of emotion layered over, under, and through each other to emanate the foulness in beauty and bliss in suffocation. Omni is Latin for all and it is commonly used with words that would describe a god who is all-seeing, all-creating, and all-powerful. I believe it to define most artists as well.

I evolved into a cubist painter after years of studying various artists, such as Pablo Picasso, Juan Gris, Georges Braque, and Paul Cezanne. The push and pull of the paintings forced me in. I could not have appreciated the balance and chaos in my life without the concept of cubism.­­­
