Painting by Antoh

Antoh (Antonio Pierluigi Mansueto, born in Naples, 1960), is an artist and a financial analyst. He exhibited in Italy, France, Germany, USA. His works are present in some Italian museums, galleries, auctions and many major Italian art fairs. Antoh studied oil painting under the guidance of Neapolitan artists since he was 10 years old. Later, he moved to Milan, and painted the nude at Osservatorio Figurale, studied ceramics with Monique Bousquet. But the master to which he was more connected, was the artist and designer Bruno Munari (signatory of the Second Futurism and present in many museums including the MOMA in NY), in Milan in the 90’s. Antoh early works were surrealists, then evolve in abstract and in a personal style that integrates various currents of the twentieth century, as surrealism, abstract expressionism, graffiti, pop art, in a new synthesis inspired by the dynamic contemporary period of the organized chaos. Antoh is a XX century son, but he lives and represents the complex and dynamic contemporary world ever rapidly changing, and not always humanly and psychologically sustainable. The language is lively, colorful, dynamic, unstable equilibrium; while positive, fun and suffering at the same time. Since 2000 some alternates series of works devoted to issues between the physical and social psychology: “Entropica”, inspired by the Bioenergetics of the American psychologist Alexander Lowen, “Multiverse” that approaches the multidimensionality of the universe according to the physical complexity of the contemporary age. Finally “ARCHETIPO-PROTOTYPE” on the cyclical nature of time.
