ABOUT THIS EXHIBITION
Butch Anthony: Art, Nature, and Intertwangleism explores the prolific career of artist Butch Anthony, a contemporary, self-taught artist with a keen eye for assembling objects and art in unique compositions. Telling the stories of a rural American way of life, this exhibition includes layered installations that showcase the artist's interest in fine art and design and showcase his habit of collecting objects found in nature, like bones, insects, shells, and other artifacts.
This exhibition is organized by the Museum of Wonder.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Butch Anthony is a contemporary, self-taught artist, maker, and collector of found objects. Born in Pensacola, Florida in 1963, the artist grew up on his family's 80-acre property in Seale, Alabama, where he lives and works today in a home he built by hand. He is the creator of the internationally recognized attractions including the Museum of Wonder, The World's First Drive Thru Museum, and The Possum Trot, where his artwork can be admired and purchased by passersby.
In the early 1990's Anthony started creating art using various media and techniques, crafting them into one-of-a-kind-masterpieces. The artist has created a specific genre of work he calls "Intertwanglelism," an -ism of his own creation. Anthony attended Auburn University In the early 1980's, where he studied zoology, geology, and botany. While there, he enrolled in a comparative anatomy class that would later inspire the use of veins and bones in his art.
Anthony's original designs and compositions are acclaimed both regionally and internationally. His work has been featured in solo, group, and juried exhibitions across the United States and abroad in venues such as the Akron Museum of Art (Akron, Ohio), Wiregrass Museum of Art (Dothan, Alabama), Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art (Charleston, South Carolina), Telfair Museum (Savannah, Georgia), and the Black Rat Project (London, England). He has been featured on CNN, NPR, the television series American Pickers, and his work in publications including The New York Times, Garden and Gun, Elle Decor, Architectural Digest, The Wall Street Journal, and Hyperallergic. Anthony was included in Alabama Creates: 200 Years of Art and Artists, a book that showcases master artists from the state, published on the occasion of Alabama's bicentennial.
