Anthony Daley in Studio
Anthony ‘Tony’ Daley started showing his strong art aptitude from an early age and emerged into the limelight at the age of 23 in 1983 when he was selected by David Hepher as the first artist to be exhibited for Flowers Gallery’s¹ Artist of the day show²; Daley was still a student at Chelsea School of Art. Angela Flowers wrote on Daley “Tony did not just bring his work in and lay it round the gallery, the large canvases were hung impeccably, the walls pristine, everything in order. It was a triumph.”³ It is this diligence then and now that Tony brings to his class.
In Tony’s own words:
Since graduating my Masters Degree in fine art painting from Chelsea College of Art in 1983, I have worked primarily as a practicing artist and educator. I hold an established national and international exhibition record and taught at a range of institutions including postgraduate and undergraduate studies at Chelsea and the Slade Schools of art and Adult education courses at Morley College and the Blackheath Conservatoire amongst others.
The activity of painting itself never ceases to amaze me with what can be achieved by people with the application of essentially primitive earthly stuff on basic materials mingled with the artist’s drive, imagination and instincts to conjure up untold magic, wonder and awe.
Anthony Daley Abstract Pic 2
When teaching, I always aspire to respond to and rise to the infinite challenges offered up by the sheer love, passion and commitment in the approach to the painting activity, outcome and expectation of each student. I aim to respond in a sympathetic manner to the practical requirements over issues of technique, use of materials and application of artistic integrity. All based on solid art-historical and current painting practice. My ultimate goal is to act as a mere conduit on the Individual creative journey of each and every student, and to see them flourish to their full potential within the tutorial group.
