years since 2000, after exploring the creative energy "explosion"
against the daily life cages with the ENTROPICA series, he researched
our contemporary social post-consumist environment throught his
typical surreal pop subjects or abstract "creatures" in
PARALLEL UNIVERSE, ROTATING MULTIVERSES and ABSTRACT MITHOLOGY series.
A very personal and recognizable graphic language with some root, in
the research direction, with Murakami and Koons contemporary masters
and the "fathers" Mirò and Munari. Antoh creatures are
caracterized by a flat, compressed, competitive and organized chaos
world, inspired by the contemporary western society and affected by
some of the contemporary theories. Chaos theory in economy, Parallel
Universes theory in phisics, Watzlavick theories and Alexander Lowen
bioenergetics in psicology, and the ancient Tao te ching, are
important ideas influencing his art philosophy. Antoh, as an art
economist, wrote various essays about museums, art market and managing
