Statement

Born 1999 in Edinburgh, Lives and Works in Glasgow

Antony Lucchesi is currently in his final year of his undergraduate degree at The Glasgow School of Art, studying Sculpture and Environmental Art.

Antony’s work focuses on Digital Art Practices, Animation, Image Making, Music/Sound Production and Making Interactive Digital Environments. The work is presented directly as works of digital art where elements of glitch and technical failure are celebrated in the way other artists would celebrate inconsistencies in paint and clay.
‘I want to capture how the real world is reflected back to us through a digital lens.’
The blending of physical and digital art making is present in all of Antony’s works. He often starts by making work using physical media such as sculpting, photography and drawing, which are then scanned digitally to be worked with on 3D programs.
Working in this way offers the opportunity to change and augment objects to create alternate digital versions.
By doing so the work created is allegorical for the transition of many aspects of our lives going from physical to digital space and the resulting anxiety of the unknown that can exist as part of this process.
