PaintingTony Geiger is a painter based in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, with a studio nearby in Gowanus. A graduate of the School of Visual Arts in New York, he creates surrealist figurative paintings that place unlikely inhabitants in unlikely environments, using macabre and playful imagery to comment on the human condition. His work has been shown at Sideshow Gallery in Williamsburg, the Barbican Centre in London as part of the Creative Cities Collection for Olympic Fine Arts, Miami Projects during Art Basel, and Ceres Gallery in Chelsea, and he was accepted into The Drawing Center's Viewing Program.
My images tend to depict environments with unlikely inhabitants, or inhabitants in unlikely environments. These mischievous juxtapositions are attempting to make statements on the human condition, either politically, physically or spiritually. I want the viewer to be challenged and amused by this mixture of the macabre and the playful.
