Anthony Alonzo's "Splendor of Colors"

ANTHONY ALONZO'S "SPLENDOR OF COLORS"

We were excited to announce "Splendor of Colors", a show by an Addison-based artist Anthony Alonzo. His solo exhibition was on display at the Addison Center for the Arts Gallery from January 11 through February 15, 2025. The artist's opening reception was on January 11.

Anthony Alonzo is an award-winning artist whose works have been displayed in several local, regional, and national exhibitions. He has received numerous awards, including several Best of Show. Anthony is best known for his rich, vibrant colors and creative depiction of the subject. Design is carefully considered, and each painting is unique.

Alonzo pursued an art education and obtained a degree from The American Academy of Art. Anthony credits The American Academy of Art for having the most significant impact on the development of his unique artistic style. Quality design, originality, luminosity, and intensity of color are the hallmarks he strives to attain.

In his show, Alonzo invited us to explore his collection of artworks, depicting the presidents in honor of the 2024 United States Presidential Election, as well as a beautiful collection of birds. By pairing these two very different subjects, the artist wished to contrast the tension of the political climate with the serenity we could find in the birds.

“I would like to take a moment to thank everyone who made the Splendor of Colors exhibition possible", -- says the artist, "Thank you to my friends and family for their love and continuous support. I would like to acknowledge the Addison Center for the Arts and their amazing staff who were so helpful through the whole process and made my vision come true. And most of all, I would like to thank all of my faithful viewers and buyers, old and new, who made this gallery a true success. Stay warm and healthy! Until next exhibition”.

The Addison Center for the Arts acknowledges the support of the Illinois Arts Council Agency, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Village of Addison.
