Artist statement:
The inspiration for this piece comes from the title itself, which represents walking through the fiery struggles of life to gain strength and wisdom to overcome anything in our path.
Artist bio:
Anthony Torcasio was born and raised in South Philadelphia, where he currently lives. A 32 year veteran of the local graffiti culture, his passion for leaving 'tags' and 'pieces' on buildings and walls in this city haven't always garnered favorable public attention. After the birth of his daughter, Anthony refocused his creative energy to protect his relationship with his family, moving from marking property to constructing canvasses prepped with help by his 5 year old daughter, Adrianna. Anthony's passion for visual texture and mastery of his medium are abundant, each piece including familiar and unfamiliar palettes of color and compositional elements that abstractly engage and reference graffiti culture. Layers of contrasting lines challenge the most flat and linear aspects of traditional graffiti.
