Biography / CVAnthony Veale is a self taught painter and sculptor living in the west of England.

Artist StatementAnthony Veale's Personal statementFrom my early beginnings as an illustrator, I have progressed through many stages,each one in marked contrast to the former. Unequivocal about this,I believe that for some artists, creativity is not something that is easily channelled to one particular genre: depending, as it does, on absolute freedom of expression and, by defenition, a choice of subject matter that is as many and varied as the thoughts, feelings and beliefs that reveal us for who and what we are. | |
Acquisitions / CollectionsA collection of his sculpture may be seen in the garden of his Devon home. | |
ReviewsAnthony Veale's Reviews,DEVON TODAY, April 2007 'Creativity and experimentation are at the heart of everything Tony Veale does, whether painting, sculpting, writing, or designing his magnificent garden in Devon. Even if he hadn't been when I arrived at the 18th.century former dower house that has been his home for the last 19 years, there are plenty of clues scattered around to this prolific artist's temperament. Framed artworks adorn the walls, encompassing everything from illustrations to mixed media bas-reliefs, while eye-catching sculptures, including a gargantuan barbed wire menhir,lurk in every conceivable alcove. Each has its own story, but it is the garden where Tony's artistic vision is most complete.' | |
