Chaparral member Anthony Beal is presenting a collection of mixed-media works throughout June at AquaFit in Yucca Valley. A multidisciplinary creator, Anthony’s practice spans wood burning, wire work, stage building, teaching, and the development of artistic backdrops for theater. His work reflects a strong connection to structure, storytelling, and visual composition.
With an aesthetic influenced by graphic arts, Anthony often works with bold color palettes, high contrast, and clear, expressive design. His pieces can evoke the feel of vintage movie posters—where imagery and composition come together to create a sense of narrative, movement, and visual impact.
Anthony’s work shifts between dramatic, story-driven themes and more imaginative subject matter, including hints of monsters and storybook creatures. Alongside the painterly and sketched compositions, he might slip in a detailed wood-burned scene or and carefully twisted wire sculpture.
Grounded in both making and teaching, his approach reflects an understanding of construction and presentation as part of the creative process. The result is a body of work that balances visual storytelling with hands-on experimentation.
Anthony Beal’s collection at AquaFit offers a look into the practice of an artist working across multiple mediums, where structure, imagination, and design come together in evolving ways.
