Anthony Porter is an artist based in Loretto, Pennsylvania. Influenced by impressionism, ukiyo-e, and art nouveau styles, Porter’s work is colorful and layered. Digitally rendered, it is reminiscent of Porter’s experience as a youth, experimenting with “scribble drawings”. Through this process, Porter makes unconscious choices, playing on patterns, forms, and shapes. This exhibition, titled The Vibrant Indefinite: Works by Michael Allison and Anthony Porter, opens Saturday, May 28th and closes Saturday, July 24th, 2021. The exhibition will feature colorful abstractions by both artists.
