Marcos Anziani
BIO
Marcos Anziani (b. 1984) is an artist born in the Dominican Republic, raised in the Bronx, and now living and working in Connecticut. His paintings combine lyrical abstraction with expressionism in large, gestural strokes of color. The dazzling energy of the color is, as the artist says, curbed through context and line. Protean images of people and objects emerge from this technique, producing energetic paintings that dance over the canvas.
The mostly warm colors help balance and subdue the often chaotic forms. Taking influence from luminaries such as Willem de Kooning, Joan Miró and Jean-Michel Basquiat, Anziani moves forward with visual motifs borrowed from street and naive art while working in continuity with the tradition of Abstract Expressionism.
Anziani’s work has appeared in multiple solo and group exhibitions around the world. He has shown in galleries in Moscow, New York City, and Miami. In 2022, he signed on for exclusive representation through Avant Gallery. In early 2023, Anziani participated in his first group museum exhibition at the Norton Museum of Art, and successfully sold in his first major auction via Sotheby’s. His first major Miami exhibition, “Before I Go,” opened October 11, 2023 at Avant Gallery Miami in Brickell City Centre and Avant Home in Aventura Mall. Avant Gallery’s booth at Art Miami 2023 featured the largest presentation of the artist’s work to-date. Anziani’s momentum continued into 2024 with his return to the Norton Museum of Art to participate in his second group show. At the high-octane Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary art fair, his work sold out nearly three times, a testament to his growing appeal among collectors, the most recent of which is beauty industry titan, Bobbi Brown. This summer, Anziani’s paintings are featured at the Hamptons Fine Art Fair. A pivotal moment for the artist, his work will also be highlighted at an unmissable exclusive charity fundraiser and exhibition hosted by Galerie Magazine.
