Dancing Bananas

One of the first surreal paintings Anthony ever created was 'Dancing Bananas' in 1989 when he was living in Bali. It became one of his favourite paintings and now forms part of our private collection in a series we call The Worship Series. Recently, in 2007, Anthony embarked on a new series of 6" x 6" still life paintings for an exhibition in Dublin and became inspired, after a trip to New York, to use the Nanny once again.

The result was a set of 5 (6" x 6") panels framed as one work titled 'Nanny Taking the Baby for a Stroll in New York'. It was the first painting to sell in the show! After that he created two more small paintings both with the same title , numbered 1 & 2 as seen above. I love the idea of baguette loaves representing the skyscrapers!
