Described as a “Pop Super Realist,” Anthony D’Avino’s art moves beyond strict representation to capture charm and joy through color and composition. Frequently created in series, his paintings draw inspiration from his antique toy collection, roadside attractions, rock stars and the vibrancy of New York City, captured in minute detail. Additional inspirations include 1950's New York nostalgia, surfing on Long Island, superheroes and rock stars.
