Anthony Breslin: Painter, Performer, Survivor, Father.

Anthony is an extraordinary painter, performer, cancer survivor and father. His work is intense and exciting and his life story is the same. From international artist to Leukemia survivor, Anthony had great success in the art world before he was crippled by GVH disease as a result of a bone marrow transplant. His son moved over-seas to live with his mother while Anthony tried to stay alive.   Topics discussed: The physicality of painters. Writing and painting- comparing our process. When Anthony filled the Myers windows with paintings in a week.  International success and a high intensity lifestyle and work life. Killing your darlings- process above product. The cancer rollercoaster begins. An unexpected child, brings unwanted vulnerability. The Breslin Gallery. A second chance and facing the fear. Death is as big as life and as important. Transcendence. Being a father when you are fighting cancer. Forced to practice what you believe. The judgemental switch gets turned off. From athlete to invalid. Being ready to go. Finding meaning and relief from self through service and charity work. The individual is an illusion- They're me and I'm them.       https://www.readings.com.au/review/brezania-by-anthony-breslin   http://www.anthonybreslin.com   https://www.jahroc.com.au/gallery-category/artists-wa-fine-art-perth-for-sale-margaret-river/anthony-breslin-artist-paintings-for-sale/       Learn more about your ad choices.
