Painting as an explosive…

…Overinformation/noninformation as number one pulic ennemy. Under the nice pretext to want to inform us,make us understand, "educate us", medias (newspapers, television, movie...) guide our vision of the world, our way of thinking, until killing little by little our power of imagination.

Taking this into account, Arthur Anttila considers his pictorial work as as much places of opposition in front of Big Brother who intents governing our lives: each produced picture does not fix an idea but propose a compostition of several possibilities of reading, whose approved aim is to make the spectator's imaginary work; so the success of a work is sized thanks to its capacity to triggered as many new stories as there are spectators, each using his own references to elucidate the image, offered as a call to creativity.
