Anthony Campuzano, Artist


Anthony Compuzano, photographed at the ICA for his exhibit "Touch Sensitive." John Vettese penned a profile of Anthony for City Paper's Second Season Arts Preview:

"I've always said as a visiting artist, hang on to good ideas, they don't go away," Campuzano says. "If things don't go right the first time, people give up. But if you re-examine it, change things slightly, you'll get closer to what the idea really is." MORE




From the ICA: "Known for his use of found language, Philadelphia-based artist Anthony Campuzano activates texts from a variety of sources—newspaper headlines, Wikipedia entries, the covers of paperback novels, trivial cultural events, common clichés, pop song lyrics—in drawings that couple intense color with the tangible presence of the artist's hand."
