Throughout the year, the work of local artists adorn the walls of Von Anthony Salon.
Currently, we are honored to be surrounded by the vibrant colors of “E” The Artist.
Born in Buffalo, N
Y, “E” The Artist currently resides in Dallas, TX. Primarily self taught, “E” was mentored by Dallas artists JD Miller and Corky Pearson. Abstract expressionism and gestural abstraction are the influences most visible in his work.
“E” works almost entirely with a painting knife. Using vibrant colors and bold knife strokes, he sometimes lets the thick paint fall where the subconscious mind wills. “E” mixes the paint directly on the canvas then scumbles and scrapes to excavate a stratum of color.
The paintings are not meant to portray specifics but rather to represent abstractions which resonate with the visual language of each observer. 
His method favors action and thought equally. This tension, present during the creation process, between control and abandonment becomes embodied in the physicality of the work. As a result, the painting’s oil-caked surface is the key to understanding not only the canvas’ underlying text but also the struggle within the artist and in every individual.
All of "E's" pieces are available for purchase. We encourage you to stop by the salon for a tour.
"E's" gallery is near downtown’s Design District:
