Anthony Newton, Fountain Gallery Artist

Anthony Newton is an exhibiting artist at Fountain Gallery in New York City,

"My work is primarily a study of hip-hop culture via portraiture, and vivid color study with figurative and surrealistic overtones. Often I'll focus on African-American males with the intention of changing America's perception of them."

So says Anthony Newton, whose work features bold use of color. He favors oils as his primary medium and produces extraordinary and unique portraits. Anthony has been a featured artist in a private exhibition at the LandAir Gallery in New York City, and Fountain Gallery showcased his work in the two-person show Urban Faces. He studied at the Hussian School of Art in Philadelphia and also studied illustration at Fashion Institute of Technology. He has exhibited at the Deshong Museum of Art in Chester, PA and the Art Culture Center in Brooklyn, and at numerous other venues. New York's Jadite Gallery presented his one-man show in 2007, and his work appeared in NYU's 2008 Small Works exhibition.
