FORMAL JAZZ by artist Anthony Armstrong

African American, Anthony Armstrong

Greetings fellow art connoisseurs, today I’m delighted to display a sophisticated piece appropriately titled “FORMAL JAZZ” by this remarkable young artist named Anthony Armstrong. —Rob Young

My imagery comes from life experiences, from recollections of my past, stories my mother told, religious inspiration and my rich cultural heritage. For better or worse these aspects of my life have become the foundation of my art. The cultural inheritance brings a diverse richness to my art and provides me with an instinctive working process. I then translate these experiences and diversity into visual expression. My interest is not only in conveying to the viewer my personal feelings, but also our common humanity. —BIOGRAPHY | Grandpasart.com
