ANTHONY CULLEN ART

Upcoming Work 2023-24

I have been exploring people’s behaviours within systems and structures but I felt like I was doing a lot of observing of other people. I wanted to get a better understanding of struggle within structures so I decided to look at and challenge myself and my willingness to act on any of my desires or to change my situation.

When I started to take a deeper look at my drawings (Decay series) I did see a divide between my sense of self and my body. In the drawings, the bodies are almost alien to me in their disfigurement. Off the back of these drawings, I decided to investigate my body as a structure and see how my sense of self reacts to this eventual failing system. I intend to explore my past and how I got to the language I use about my body and investigate what were the things that shaped my vision of myself.
