Antony Zito
"Antony Zito"
Antony Zito is a portrait painter and long-time resident of New York's Lower East Side. The New York Post has called his portrait paintings "sensual" and his renderings of people on recycled materials other than canvas have prompted The Village Voice to refer to him as "a master of the found object". His strikingly emotive work has been shown throughout the US, Europe and Japan. Every year, Zito's group,The 4heads, hotwires an abandoned military bunker in historic New York Harbor - launchinga sizable exposition of independent artists and galleries known as The Governor's Island Art Fair. Zito's diverse portraits, murals and other artwork can be seen throughout New York as well as in Jim Jarmusch's films, "Coffee and Cigarettes" and "Broken Flowers".
