Anthony is taking Robert Ives’ Printmaking courses in Term 3 2023 while Robert is overseas.
“I’m so excited to bring what I’ve learned from printmaking to a new group of people, and support all of us in the development of new work that reflects the creative approach of each individual. I’ve been inspired by how the WWAS is a collaborative place of shared learning in a supportive environment, that encourages experimentation. Together we will learn the basics of etching, aquatint, woodblock, dry point, photo transfers, Photoshop, screen printing and more. You will walk away with a small body of work and the skills needed to produce prints both at home and in the studio.”
Anthony Bartok is a Master of Fine Art graduate of the National Art School majoring in printmaking. He was the winner of the Fisher’s Ghost Award for Printmaking (2016) and has been an exhibited finalist in numerous art prizes including The Waverly Art Prize (2022), The Mosman Art Prize (2022), Grace Cossington Smith Art Prize (2021), The Lester Prize for Portraiture (2020) and The Kilgour Art Prize at Newcastle Art Gallery (2019).
As an exhibiting artist for over 20 years, Anthony’s work is a wryly humorous critique of the Western world. Using images sourced from photographs online he hand traces and designs his work digitally before outputting them as paintings and screen prints.
