ABOUT
“Over the past three decades, under the alias of Tony D'Amico*DNTT*, Tony has been actively producing and displaying large and small scale sculptures made from scrap metals, salvaged and found materials, across the globe. In common with Cirque Archaos and DNTT (of which he was a core member) and Block 9, three of the creative collectives he has worked with during this period, as well as collaborating on large scale projects with-
The Mutoid Waste Company, Artcore International, Block 9 and Pest Control.
He is based between Brixton London and Northern Portugal, and runs a workshop/studio in both locations”.
“My sculptures attempt to create a new aesthetic from the detritus of modern society, forged using low level industrial techniques. The environment, ecology, sustainability and inclusion are paramount elements to the ethic of my work and act as a constant inspiration to the context of my practice. I have always felt the importance of Integrating the setting of my sculptures within the context of music, lighting and performance, with the intention of providing a more immersive depth to the experience”.
Tony D`Amico DNTT has collaborated on installations with DNTT, Block 9, Mutoid Waste Company, Dismal Land
(Weston-super-Mare) and Gross Domestic Product (Croydon).
He has displayed work at Mutate Britain - One Foot in the Grove, Glastonbury Festival - Unfair Ground and Block9, FIAC (Paris), Notting Hill Carnival, Woolff Gallery, Urban Soup Gallery, Graffik Gallery and Artcore International Summer Exhibition.
