Artist

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.

Sculpture

About this Sculpture

An assemblage of three disparate but complementary printed images accessed trough three different technologies:

1. A naked young lady assessing her body, downloaded from the Internet in 1997
2. A hand written text of 1967 copied on to a bromide print in Loughborough in 1994

3. A greatly enlarged digital photo of the artist taken for a identity card at Coventry University in 1994.

A development of thesis, antithesis and synthesis is created within a shallow three-dimensional sequential strip-cartoon format. Most all the action, which is itself wishful thinking, occurs within the various physical layers of the construction. The elements of the drama are clearly set out but are variously obscured into various levels of readability.

‘Me voici, Père Ubu, Love’ is a story set in the subjunctive but indicative of the make-believe world of Alfred Jarry’s ‘Ubu Roi’.
