About Tony Alcock

I was born in Nottingham (UK) in June 1947. My post school art education included a Pre-Dip at Loughborough followed by studying Fine Art / Painting at Leicester Polytechnic. After graduating and producing my 'Light Organ', I enjoyed a couple of years being recognized as an original and practicing artist in the UK. However, I chose to pursue life as a teacher, gaining a PGCE from Bristol University, where I later briefly lectured in Art education.

Circumstances changed and I found myself working as a musician, became a music shop owner and eventually worked in a successful graphics based company, MOGO UK. From 1993, I was able to reactivate my artistic ambitions, identifying myself as AMA, I've always liked the symmetry of my initials. Most all the work on this Artlimes website will have been produced after 1993.

About this Artwork

Only when this picture was finished was I minded of Piero della Francesca's masterpiece, ‘The Flagellation of Christ’ (1476?). This title came about through responding to certain similarities in its spatial organisation and balance of physical presence and spiritual calm. It is suitable for the word, 'Flagellation' to find its way into the title, portraying, as it does, the wonderfully contrasting ideas of religious discipline and sexual stimulation. The picture deliberately set out to combine the opposing elements of intellectual activity and sensual pleasure.

As in other works of the period, the numerals ’0′ and ’1′represent the idea of female and male whilst the embryonically shaped 5 is half the one and half the other. The figure 5, having its own identity, underlies the composition, even with its mirror image being barely discernible int he central dark panel.

The tactile, discarded violin and 'cello necks together with the perfectly formed ping-pong balls carry sexual overtones and are intended as a synecdoche for people. These characters have been precisely and individually placed within a visually defined space, similar in intention to, but in a different language from the Italian renaissance masterpiece.
