Towards the end of 2019 I started a new series of layered paintings which I call "Cave Art." The concept is to explore abstracts of historic writings, fossils and symbols uncovered in archaeological digs or found in old caves. This painting is the second in that series, playfully and evocatively named Royal Dutch Shell. The fossil fuel company remains the third largest in the world. In my painting, the fossilized shell is apparent as are the colors of the Netherlands (Dutch) while also arousing our sense of environmental consciousness and justice by juxtaposing nature's beauty with industrialism and the fossil fuel industry. I was thinking about the irony and timing of my Cave Art series given that we are now, metaphorically, sheltering in our respective caves due to Covid-19. Sometimes art has a way of finding the moment, or perhaps being timeless. And sometimes modernity or unexpected events have a way of making us take a look back in time for lessons or perhaps hidden/buried messages we may have missed. Let me know what you think!

Tony Seker's art is dynamic and bursting with color. His colorful paintings have been in galleries around the world including in New York, Barcelona, Dubai and Paris. His "action" painting style blossomed during his nomadic early teen years. After fleeing the Lebanese Civil War in the 70's, he transitioned from painting with traditional camouflage to bright colors on his plastic model fighter planes in opposition to war itself. As a coping mechanism during his refugee experience, and to elevate his spirits, he occupied himself with humor and cinema while also relishing creative endeavors, such as painting and playing pranks. The cultural and artistic influences from that time period, in particular Peter Sellers, Victor Borge and Bruce Lee, manifested in his artistic expression as he channeled some of their most evocative characteristics. Today, Seker carries forward those early influences, fusing together elements of playfulness and optimism into his art; shining a light on life’s randomness to inspire greater understanding and compassion for all people. Each of his artworks comprise two elements; randomness and design, to mirror his own life experience. Seker is the recipient of numerous juried awards and has been published in multiple art journals. He resides near New York City and previously lived in Paris, London and Beirut.
