About the Artist
Anthony “T0NEWASH” Washington is a contemporary artist and muralist from Syracuse, New York, whose work draws upon the dynamic intersection of culture, community, and history. Known for his bold and emotive use of color, Washington’s murals tell stories that bridge the gap between personal narrative and collective experience. His artwork, often infused with elements of urban street art, African American heritage, and modern aesthetics, serves as a powerful tool for public engagement, sparking conversations about identity, belonging, and social change.
Washington’s artistic journey began in the vibrant streets of Syracuse, where his early experiences shaped his deep connection to the urban environment. Today, his murals grace walls across the city and beyond, turning public spaces into vibrant canvases that reflect the communities they inhabit.
Washington’s artistic style is deeply rooted in both contemporary urban art and his personal heritage. His work incorporates a mix of realistic portraiture, abstract elements, and striking geometric patterns, often influenced by African art, hip-hop culture, and urban landscapes. With a focus on storytelling, each piece aims to evoke emotion, stimulate dialogue, and provoke thought about the world around us. His color palettes are often rich and saturated, emphasizing contrast and intensity, while his compositions feature a seamless blend of traditional and modern techniques.
