Working within an oxymoronic scaffold of profound banality, Anthony Bartok engineers everyday contradictions to critically jab our current moment. In his new series of paintings and screen prints, incongruous couplings expose cross-pollinations of industry and individual at a time when notions of privacy have been turned inside out; when the melding of work life and home life is catapulting us into an age of remote access.
