Anthony Vade is a Canadian contemporary visual artist whose practice bridges traditional painting, mixed media, and interactive digital technology. Drawing from a career in large-scale event and experience design for global brands, Vade integrates physical canvases with custom augmented reality (AR) and video projection.

His work explores the intersection of tactile medium and digital narrative, transforming viewers from passive observers into active participants within the artwork. By layering painted surfaces with interactive digital elements, Vade challenges the traditional constraints of fine art, offering collectors and institutions a dynamic continuation of modern visual storytelling.

Artist Statement:

Modern art must transcend traditional formats and constraints to remain relevant and impactful. Incorporating technology is vital, as it expands the canvas of creativity and lets artists explore new dimensions and mediums. Integrating technology makes art more interactive, fostering a deeper connection between the viewer and the artwork. This participatory approach turns viewers from passive observers into active participants, deepening their engagement and understanding. It’s not just about viewing art; it’s about experiencing it. In this digital age, art must evolve, pushing boundaries and challenging norms to continue inspiring, provoking thought, and reflecting our ever-changing world.
