Watch Tony Allen’s animation for Disability Arts Online Covid Commission
ActionSpace artist Tony Allen has been awarded a Disability Arts Online Covid Commission to create an artwork that responds to the theme of connectivity.
Tony Allen’s artworks share his jovial observations on everyday life. He uses bold, colourful patterned letters, in a variety of mediums to form iconic text works. Tony’s distinctive style suggests statements for contemplation, reflection and laughter.
Tony is a prolific artist and his main desire, he says, is for people to see his artwork and be provoked to “Just think about it”. His thoughts are of the everyday, yet they feel like shared universal truths and a philosophy for life. Tony’s Weekly Words of Wisdom are just that.
With this digital artwork, Tony has collaborated with an animator to activate his distinctive, striking words of wisdom. He means what he says, he wants to be heard and wants you to take those words to heart because “It’s true, ain’t it”.
