Anthony’s Expression

1980 - Now

After becoming a Master in Fine Art from the Chelsea College of Art in the 80’s, Tony Daley instantly went on to become the first ever ‘Artist Of The Day’, which shortly after awarded artists including Tracey Emin, Nicola Hicks, and Stuart Pearson Wright. Since then, his practice has continued to evolve, becoming recognisable for his strong-influences of master styles throughout museums and galleries across the world.

Saintly Strokes. Re-imagining some of the earlier styles and forms from Baroque, Renaissance and Rococo times - through a darkened, cool palette. There's something quite magical about responding to such differing periods of painting with abstract exp
I created a collection with very small paintings (mostly all 30 x 30), titled after baroque painter Nicolas Poussin. I took inpsiration from many of his paintings, abstracting and reinterpreting his use of subjects. Although I paint in a relatively
Experimenting with renaissance and japanese influence - I made a couple of these smaller paintings a few years ago. Always good to keep trying new ideas out. 'Falling Like Saints' (2015), 30 x 52cm Tony
'Herefrom' (2018), 168 x 215cm, Oil on Canvas. I quite enjoy this one. One of the few from this series that is still available. Tony
'Wild Heart' (2018), 80 x 80cm This piece was a release. Releasing of conservatism, rules and built up tradition. I tend to hold on to technique that I pick up without questioning its current necessity. Sometimes it can stop me from picking up new
'Therein'. 168 x 215cm - Oil on Canvas. Part of the Homegrown series in 2018. Tony
Autolove is when there is an undeniable, pulling attraction which one cannot dispute. It is unknown and takes by surprise - often leaving one in confusion. The confusion isn't necessarily negative however, instead acting as revelation. Autolove is th
On Hill (2021) 78 x 78cm, Oil on Canvas
Fall Romance (2021) 80 x 80cm An amalgamation of colour falls from its container. It is not guaranteed of safety or security, but its unleashing comes out in a way that is unprecedented. Fall Romance. Hope you like it. Tony
'Yonderly' (2018) 168 x 215cm A play on the word 'Yonderly'. Usually meaning aloof, reserved or gloomy - it invites you to rethink introversion. Once you give them (us) time, they speak to you. Tony
In this smaller piece from a few years ago I wanted the pink to be both cold and warm. It's called Warmhearted. 'Warmhearted' (2018). Tony
‘Herein’ (2018) - 168 x 215cm. . An exploration in to the primordial nature of oil - the Homegrown collection was a celebration of process through letting naturality occur. So many layers and reworks, but for great outcomes .
I’ve been asked by the HepC fundraiser ‘Art on a Postcard’ to donate four paintings for auction. They’ve raised over a million pounds since their launch in 2014. It’s really quite special working on such a small size. T
Pardon the hiatus. I’ve been working in the studio non-stop the last few months. A solo show at the Dulwich Picture Gallery is confirmed for August. I’m really excited for this exhibition and all I can say for now is… expect large
The Royal Academy was something that little Tony Daley dreamed of. Albeit nearly 50 years later, the dream became a reality. The Royal Academy was always a significant highlight of the year for myself and my friends. The latest innovations and eme
