ART FOR SOCIAL CHANGE
By Anthony Thomas
Modern wall sculpture and poetry in the theme of Black awareness
Artist Anthony Thomas, creates 3D wall sculptures and poetry, designed to awaken the youth as a powerful force in democracy. To impact the 'now' generation. To effect change and Democratic participation. To tell a story that educates, inspires, motivates, and invokes a positive call to action.
Poetry written by Anthony Thomas is paired with his sculpted creations. The poems tell the story of the artworks meaning and purpose, and is an essential part of the presentations. Anthony marries the two forms together, to create his story-telling art. The wall art captures the viewers eyes, and the poetry captures the mind. Making the exhibition of these works, a true show and tell.
The following are 3 separate exhibitions
Profound and powerful poetry traces the Black Lives Marrathon of social movement from slavery to the present time. With a powerful message to the 'now' generation, with respect to they're place, in the continued push toward the finish line of equality and justice.
LETTERS TO THE YOUTH
Anthony's use of sculpted figures, symbols, and words, speak to the youth about issues that affect they're lives. The use of short phrases, and words of wisdom, trigger thought and engagement.
BREAKING BARRIERS
Breaking Barriers honors the achievements and social impact of exceptional Black athletes. In particular, those that broke the color barrier in their particular sport, paving the way for athletes of color.
Anthony Thomas believes in the crucial role art plays in shaping social change. Art can be a catalyst for social change, and can make a positive change in peoples lives. The marriage of art and poetry in Anthony's works of art, delivers a powerful, relevant, and necessary message, and is an absolute powerhouse representation of the African American experience.
