As beautiful as the world is, it ain’t always pretty.
New York based artist, Anthony Tarsitano, feels that perhaps this statement characterizes his upcoming premiere solo show at the Atlantic Gallery.
Selected Works on Paper 2025-2026 is his perspective of the world, revealed through a series of varied, at times random, subjects. Anthony, also a filmmaker, noted, “Creating the pieces for this exhibit felt much like exploring the inner, interpersonal, and societal perspectives of a character in one of my films”. Figurative images are used to symbolically convey his point of view. The medium of Sumi ink on paper presents a simplified black and white palette, producing blunt graphic imagery in an almost Rorschach-like form of communication.
Since 2017 Anthony has exhibited in group shows in NYC at the Plaxall Gallery, The Factory and Atlantic Gallery. Anthony is also a member of the Sumi-e Society of America and his work is currently exhibited in the 2025-26 Annual Show. Prior, he received his BFA in Painting from CW Post, showing his earlier paintings from New York to group shows in Los Angeles. Anthony continually experimented with new mediums; creating sound installations at BACA in NYC, 500X Gallery in Dallas, and in SoNo Connecticut, to name a few. His creative path also led to filmmaking; writing, directing and producing award-winning films with premieres at the Tribeca Film Festival, Academy-qualifying festivals, and on Paramount Showtime.
