Anthony Bartok: Statement

Bartok's work can loosely be described as Pop social commentary, taking images from the social spheres of Google and then hand-tracing, scanning, and re-contextualising them into an allegory for our current cultural situation.

Human failure, light entertainment and social constructs are playfully lampooned into a kaleidoscope of the public and private worlds of Western civilisation.

"I recognise the privileged role of the artist to be able to reflect the world around them and to question things we take for granted, without any outside editing or mediation. I'm not interested in art about art or art about theory, I’m interested in art about us.”
