Media Coverage
Cable TV show- “Artist Alive” studio interview aired on May

he silence of the world of Asian temples would be the perfect setting for sincere self-study and self-expression.Knowing this, Anthony moved his studio to Taipei, Taiwan with the aim to remain in Asia for ten years.The year was 1988, he was 24 years old and had just graduated from the School of Visual Arts in New York City...

Since that point in his life, he has visited many countries, walking everywhere with his sketchbooks.Writing notes and drawing pictures helps to open his mind to a world of different sights, sounds and smells that are uniquely Asian.

Anthony paints some of the objects that have come closest to his heart.The refined handle of a Chinese calligraphy brush with its horsehair.Teapots and Sake pots that were there with him during his moments spent with friends and the moonlight.Many of these treasures traveled with the artist to The Great Wall of China, YellowMountain, along the YangTzeRiver, to Korea and Japan, to temples and on train rides throughout the countryside, as drinking tea has long been his way to commune with nature, or with the people of a village.

An object loses significance when it is displayed as a part of a large group.In a Zen temple, the Japanese monks will display one piece of pottery on a shelf that could hold many.In this way the pottery is revealed and the viewer is able to celebrate the color, texture, its perfections and imperfections.This is the essence of Emmolo’s work.

All of his work is done with Old Holland or Windsor and Newton oil paints on linen or canvas.
