Art is Love: A Spiritual Warrior's Journey

A photographic journey with artist, Anthony Liggins. Art Is Love, A Spiritual Warrior's Journey captures the paintings of Liggins, his collectors and influences that have inspired him through the decades. Working primarily with acrylic paint, Liggins impart his philosophies of interconnectedness and transcending socially constructed boundaries with his sweeping dream-like landscapes; and bold but balanced brushstrokes. Liggins incorporates photography, antique wood printing blocks, chopstick, yarn and pressed dot patterns into his work to symbolize the impermanence of time, nourishment of the spirit and the connections hidden but that exist between us all. His work is influenced by Eastern philosophies such as Zen and Wabi-sabi, his career as a fashion designer, influences of Latin Jazz and his travels abroad. Liggins has participated in 12 group museum showings including the Smithsonian Institute, the Longmont Museum and the Michener Art Museum. In Liggins work, as described by the Philadelphia Inquirer art critic Victoria Donohoe says, "brilliant color stands its ground. There's often a lingering feeling of landscape in these abstractions, felt in the scale and breadth of handling."A Spiritual Warrior's Journey picks up where Art is Love, Love is an Art left off.
