Description This tower was on top of an old artist-owned and re-built building in my neighborhood in Brooklyn. The house is called The Broken Angel. The building has since been sold and the new owner tore down the tower. Luckily I was fascinated by this building and took a lot of pictures of it. I will be painting more paintings of it in the future.The painting is made of oil house paint, acrylic paint, and coffee.The original paining on canvas is 12 X 16

Artist Statement Rev. Yolanda Roger Anthony (Tony) Mapes; painter and performance artist was born and raised in Muscle Shoals, Alabama - "The Hit Recording Capital of the World" and the birthplaces of Helen Keller and W.C. Handy. The Muscle Shoals area was populated by an abundance of musicians and visual artists/painters. I began studying painting and drawing at a young age with local artists and was encouraged to develop my own unique vision. I was and still am inspired by the works of Picasso, Dali, Bacon, 60's POP artists, and old black& white horror movies..........................................................................................................................
As an adult, my vision grew to become an abstract expressionist/surrealistic/sci-fi way of painting dreamscapes on canvas using acrylic paint, house paint, found objects, and assorted other media.
I interpret energies from spiritual, supernatural, and otherworldly forces. I read a lot of sci-fi authors such as Frank Herbert, Octavia Butler, and Vernor Vinge. I am also very interested in the channeled writings of SETH. These ideas and characters from novels and readings show up in my paintings as powerful and sometimes disturbing images in saturated, mostly primary, colors............

I consider myself an Outsider Artist...........................................................................
