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 Sculpture

This light-hearted piece of work started with a little rectangle of wood, the rejected wooden plinth from a very early work by AMA now entitled, “Non, Je ne Regrette Rien”.

This piece of wood had two steel rods removed from it, leaving two round holes surrounded by charcoal coloured stains, longtime leached into the wood; images caused by a chemical reaction between the metal object and the deteriorating varnish covering the wood. These two apertures looked just like human eyes, some say just like the artist's or his son's eyes! This discarded piece of wood now became the starting point for another piece of work, something that grew quite unintentionally into 'Homage to Joseph A, whilst entering in Yellow'.

This was never intended to be a self portrait of the artist, but that is the first reaction of almost all who see this piece.
